COLUMBUS, Ga.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–High Performance Product Engineering (HPPE, LLC) located in Columbus, GA, is pleased to announce that JAM Capital Partners, a growth equity firm focused on investing in technology-enabled businesses, has made a significant investment in the company.

“We are excited to have the opportunity to partner with JAM Capital Partners to capitalize on the opportunity to deliver innovative biopolymer chemical solutions to customers on a global basis,” said HPPE CEO, Sanket Gandhi.

HPPE produces high-performance and cost-competitive biopolymer-based products for the oil and gas, mining, agriculture and pharmaceutical industries. HPPE is one of the few biopolymer manufacturing companies that can manufacture biopolymer products on an industrial scale while maintaining a very precise range of product performance and quality control specifications.

“We are reinventing how companies think about industrial chemicals in a variety of industries, and we have recruited some incredible talent to help us market our products,” said Gandhi. The HPPE sales team is led by Jimmy Jett, who previously led the sales team at Magnablend prior to its $500mm sale to Univar. In addition to Mr. Jett, HPPE has recruited Charlie Landis, PhD, who joined HPPE after spending much of his career as a scientist and product commercialization leader at Halliburton.

“Sanket and his team at HPPE are pioneers in a new industry, developing green biopolymer chemical solutions that can replace traditional petroleum-based chemicals.
