Gainline Capital Partners Enters Partnership with ANA Global

Gainline Capital Partners (Gainline), a private investment firm, has invested in ANA Global (ANA), a leading manufacturer of precision plastic injection-molded and metal-stamped components used primarily in the medical, automotive, and industrial end markets.

Founded in Japan in 1953, ANA Global is headquartered in San Diego, California, and operates a broad manufacturing platform across Mexico encompassing over 400,000 square feet of manufacturing and assembly space.

Along with the investment, MD Hoque will retire as CEO after over 35 years of leadership, concluding a distinguished career with the company he helped build into a market leader. Hoque will remain a Board Advisor.

ANA has also appointed a new executive leadership team led by CEO Richard Warren. Warren brings 25 years of leadership experience in medical device and regulated industries, including senior executive and leadership roles at Resolve Surgical Technologies, MMT Inc., LISI, and GKN.

Joining Warren are Rafael Beverido as Chief Financial Officer (formerly of PwC, Orbia, Hormel), and Homero Escandón as Chief Operating Officer (formerly of Biotix, UTC, USMC) – both of whom have extensive experience scaling businesses across the U.S. and Mexico.

“What impressed us most is ANA’s decades-long relationships with blue-chip customers and a culture that prioritizes quality and partnership,” said Warren. “We’re excited to build upon the strong foundation the ANA team has created, broaden the product set — particularly in engineered plastics and precision metal assemblies — and execute upon a compelling multi-year growth plan as we invest in capacity, automation, and new markets.”

Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP served as legal counsel to Gainline. Objective Investment Banking & Valuation served as the exclusive financial advisor, and Solomon Ward Seidenwurm Smith, LLP served as the legal counsel to ANA Global.
