AmerCareRoyal a leading supplier of disposable foodservice supplies, gloves and take-out packaging backed by HCI Equity Partners, announced today the acquisition of Team Three Group . Team Three is ACR's eighth add-on acquisition since HCI's initial investment.

Team Three is a provider of disposables for the foodservice and janitorial industries, with key product categories including towels, napkins and tissues, gloves, cutlery, takeout packaging and cups.

Bob Hubbard, who founded Team Three with his business partner Roy Van in 2011, is a well-respected industry veteran that has joined the ACR executive team as part of the transaction.

"We are thrilled that Team Three has joined ACR and have been impressed by Bob Hubbard's stellar reputation in our industry," said Scott Milberg, CEO of AmerCareRoyal. "His expertise will enable us to effectively expand into new markets and offer additional capabilities to our customers.  We look forward to working alongside Bob and the entire Team Three team as part of the broader ACR organization."

"With the acquisition of Team Three, ACR's sales revenue now exceeds the billion-dollar mark, and positions them as a leader in their market while also enabling expanded services, greater efficiencies, and a better value proposition for customers. We're proud of Scott and the ACR team for achieving this impressive milestone."
