Founded in 1999 and based in Zebulon, North Carolina, Nomacorc engineers synthetic wine closures to prevent cork taint, oxidation and crumbling, providing a long-term solution at a lower price than a traditional wine cork. By 2007, Nomacorc had become the worldwide leader in the growing market for synthetic wine closures. The company’s founders sought a financial partner to provide partial liquidity and to help them take full advantage of Nomacorc’s growth potential.
How Summit helped:
Global Leisure Partners acquired Nomacorc in 2015. At the time of Summit’s exit, Nomacorc employed more than 500 people worldwide and had established a strong market position; Nomacorc wine corks protect nearly 15% of the global still wine market.
