Gainline Capital Partners Forms Alliance with ANA Global
Gainline Capital Partners, a prominent private investment firm, has made a strategic move by establishing a partnership with ANA Global, a well-respected manufacturer of precision components. This collaboration is poised to significantly enhance ANA's capabilities and expand their market reach, particularly in the medical, automotive, and industrial sectors.
Founded in Japan in 1953 and now operating from San Diego, California, ANA Global specializes in producing high-quality plastic injection-molded and metal-stamped components that cater to various industries. Their extensive manufacturing platform, which spans over 400,000 square feet in Mexico, allows them to serve a diverse base of blue-chip clients.
In an official announcement made on October 14, 2025, Gainline emphasized its commitment to partnering with family-owned and founder-led businesses, and this investment in ANA Global marks a significant milestone in their pursuit of middle-market growth opportunities.
MD Hoque, co-founder of ANA, expressed confidence in Gainline's capabilities, stating, "We saw in Gainline a partner whose values, resources, and strategic guidance make them the right fit to help us accelerate growth, strengthen our culture, and continue delivering exceptional results for our customers." Hoque will be stepping down as CEO after an impressive 35-year tenure but will remain involved as a Board Advisor, ensuring continuity amid the transition.
Taking the helm as the new CEO is Richard Warren, who brings with him a wealth of experience from various regulated industries and medical device sectors. Warren, along with newly appointed Chief Financial Officer Rafael Beverido and Chief Operating Officer Homero Escandón, is expected to leverage their extensive backgrounds to steer ANA Global toward further successes and innovations.
Warren highlighted the strong relationships that ANA has built over decades with its customers, which serve as a vital foundation for future endeavors. He stated, "What impressed us most is ANA's decades-long relationships with blue-chip customers and a culture that prioritizes quality and partnership. 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."
Rick Sullivan, Managing Partner at Gainline, noted that the new executive team brings valuable experience and a proven history of scaling businesses effectively. He remarked, "This marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for ANA."
The collaboration not only emphasizes growing ANA’s product offerings but also targets the significant opportunity presented by nearshoring trends, allowing companies to streamline operations closer to the United States. This strategic alignment aligns with Gainline's mission of fostering sustainable growth in well-established companies while creating long-term value.
ANA Global, after over 70 years in the manufacturing sector, remains a trusted partner in supplying high-quality components essential for numerous industries. As Gainline Capital Partners invests in ANA's future, the expectations for innovation and growth are set high. Looking forward, the partnership between these two entities is anticipated to pave the way for continuous improvement and position ANA as a leading player in the global manufacturing landscape.
