Way back in the early 2000s, Adam and Paul met the K&N team and knew that there was something special in this gem of a monopoly that dated back to the 1960s. Providing an aftermarket filter for virtually every car ever made, K&N had an undeniable market position. Partnering with Gryphon Investors, New Value helped unlock all of that investment in quality, loyalty and experience. In 2016, K&N was sold to Goldman Sachs.
