Cadus Group is a U.S. based private equity and management firm established in partnership with perennial Global Fortune 100 conglomerate C&D Inc. (SSE: 600153). The firm is focused on building a leading supply-chain and industrial real-estate platform through localization investments, strategic acquisitions, and global-local integration. Headquartered in New York City and led by an independently cultivated local management team, Cadus combines deep regional expertise with the backing and global reach of one of largest and most esteemed supply-chain operators and real-estate groups in the world.
Our Approach
Cadus is currently positioned exceptionally well in private capital markets—particularly for apparel and consumer-product brands in Early-to-Mid Growth Equity and Late Growth Pre-IPO stages that live or die by supply-chain resilience, cost volatility, and speed-to-market. Our unique position as both co-sponsor and primary supplier has proven to be a paradigm shifter in the space. One that is not only incredibly attractive to lead sponsors, but it greatly reduces partner COGS while creating pooled revenue streams via manufacturing and distribution margins as well as financing fees.

Bottom Line: As remarked by Managing Partner and Head of Consumer at a leading Global Private Equity Firm, ‘A New York-based, Fortune Global 100 China-backed player with owned logistics, port relationships, contract-manufacturing depth, and real-estate assets is the exact type of partner that most PE firms [in the U.S. and beyond] dream about but rarely get access to.’
