Align Capital Exits CompletePet to Blue Sea After 5-Year Growth Push…

Event summary

Align Capital Partners sold CompletePet to Blue Sea Capital after a five-year hold.
CompletePet expanded from a single 55,000-square-foot facility to 350,000 square feet with over 500 employees.
The platform acquired Green Mountain Animal in 2025, adding a second manufacturing facility.
ACP invested heavily in people, processes, and infrastructure to scale the business.

The big picture

Align Capital's exit underscores the growing private equity interest in the pet wellness sector, particularly in scalable manufacturing platforms. The deal highlights the strategic value of operational expansion and geographic diversification in a rapidly evolving market. With $3.2 billion in AUM, ACP's successful exit may signal increased activity in the lower-middle market for similar growth-oriented investments.
