Strategic Acquisition of ANA Global Highlights Growing Nearshoring Opportunities for Manufacturers
San Diego, CA – October 14, 2025 – Objective, Investment Banking & Valuation (“Objective”), an award-winning middle-market investment banking and valuation firm, is pleased to announce that it served as the exclusive sell-side advisor to ANA Global, LLC (“ANA” or the “Company”), a leading manufacturer of precision plastic injection-molded and metal-stamped components, in its sale to Gainline Capital Partners (“Gainline”).
With a legacy that began in 1953 in Japan, ANA Global has built a 70-year legacy of manufacturing excellence. Headquartered in San Diego, California, the Company has grown into a leading manufacturer for medical, automotive and industrial customers with five state-of-the-art facilities across Tijuana, Nogales, and Irapuato Mexico. ANA Global is recognized for its commitment to quality, partnership, and medical-grade manufacturing excellence.
The acquisition underscores the growing trend of nearshoring as global supply chains pivot closer to end markets.
“This transaction is a clear example of how nearshoring is reshaping global supply chains. By helping ANA Global find the right partner, we were able to highlight the company’s deep presence in Mexico, which not only provides a cost advantage but also ensures quality and reliability for customers. We are proud to have advised ANA Global on a transaction that honors its legacy, values its employees, and positions the business for continued growth,” said Dan Shea, Managing Director at Objective, Investment Banking & Valuation.
“We saw in Gainline a partner whose values, resources, and strategic guidance make them the right fit to help us accelerate growth, strengthen our culture, and continue delivering exceptional results for our customers,” said ANA co-founder MD Hoque. In conjunction with the investment, Hoque will retire as CEO after more than 35 years of leadership, concluding a distinguished career with the Company he helped build into a market leader. Hoque will remain a Board Advisor.
“ANA has built a remarkable reputation with leading OEMs worldwide, and we look forward to supporting the team as they broaden their capabilities and capture new opportunities driven by nearshoring and global supply chain trends,” said Zach Greenspan of Gainline Capital Partners.
