HINGHAM, MASS. — Specialty cracker maker Venus Wafers is being acquired by Oak Park, Ill.-based investment partnership Circumspect Capital.

News of the deal emerged from Boston-based investment bank Tully & Holland, which reported earlier this month that it’s serving as the exclusive adviser to Venus Wafers for the sale to Circumspect Capital. Financial terms of the acquisition agreement weren’t disclosed.

Hingham, Mass.-based Venus Wafers, Tully & Holland and Circumspect Capital couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.

“The acquisition allows Circumspect Capital to participate in a long-term-focused investment partnership with a widely recognized, all-natural, specialty snack cracker portfolio and private label business,” Tully & Holland said
