LAS VEGAS (Nov. 14, 2022) – AV Equity Partners today announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire Valley View Surgical Center.


Valley View Surgery Center one of the largest AAAHC accredited Ambulatory Surgery Center in Nevada.


“Horizon Organic is an iconic name in dairy that is well recognized and beloved by consumers,” said Platinum Equity Co-President Louis Samson. “The brand has earned a reputation for quality and innovation that is unmatched in the industry. We appreciate Danone’s confidence in our ability to build on that legacy and support Horizon Organic’s growth as a standalone company.”


The US dairy category is estimated at $68 billion with milk comprising approximately $17 billion of that total. 


“Premium offerings, including organic and value-added products, are driving the growth in the dairy milk category,” said Platinum Equity Managing Director Adam Cooper. “Horizon Organic is a pioneer of that segment and is in position to continue capitalizing on and accelerating the trend.”


Platinum Equity has decades of experience acquiring and operating global businesses that have been part of large corporate entities. The firm recently announced the pending acquisition of Kohler Energy from Kohler Co. In recent years Platinum Equity has also acquired businesses from firms like Ball Corporation, Caterpillar, ConAgra, Emerson Electric, Ingersoll Rand and Johnson & Johnson, among others.


“We are excited about Horizon Organic’s potential as an independent business with a renewed sense of focus and a commitment to investing in its success,” said Cooper. “We have a lot of experience supporting food and beverage businesses. We look forward to partnering with Horizon Organic’s management team to ensure a seamless transition and chart a path for continued growth and expansion.”
