Headquartered in Minneapolis, the firm partners with business owners to build their businesses into industry leaders. NEP was first introduced to Savage eight years ago when Norwest Mezzanine Partners, NEP’s affiliated mezzanine fund, made an investment in support of Long Point Capital’s recapitalization of the business.
