Tender Products Buys Comfort Gear

Prospect Partners-backed Tender Products has acquired Comfort Gear, a provider of safety and first-aid kits sold primarily through the promotional product market. The transaction not only expands Tender's product line but also its distribution network, since it has traditionally reached consumers through mass merchant retailers, drugstore chains and sporting goods stores. Tender makes personal care products and outdoor kits. Prospect recapitalized the company in 2008.
