Agribusiness
The Firm’s investments in agribusiness include United California Citrus, Inc. (“UCC”) and San Ysidro Vineyards LLC (“SYV”). UCC is principally engaged in farming approximately 1,200 acres of citrus (navel and valencia oranges, and lemons) in Fresno County, California. SYV is principally engaged in farming approximately 382 planted acres of wine grapes (chardonnay, merlot and pinot noir) on two properties located in Santa Clara County. Additionally, from 1989 through 2006, the Firm had a joint venture in PT REA Kaltim Plantations, one of the largest palm oil plantations in Indonesia. This greenfield project, located in East Kalimantan, Indonesia, was successfully developed to over 18,000 hectares prior to divestiture by the Firm, and continues to operate today. Medical Communications In 1996, the Firm acquired the US medical publishing business of Reed-Elsevier. This business, which operates as Quadrant HealthCom, Inc., is a leading medical multi-media communications provider. Quadrant’s products include monthly journals, websites and other digital offerings, live events and custom medical education communications. Specialty physician markets covered include dermatology, emergency medicine, family practice, obstetrics and gynecology, neurology, pulmonary and psychiatry. Quadrant also targets physicians in the health systems of the Veterans Administration and Department of Defense, nurse practitioners and physician assistants. Revenues derive primarily from pharmaceutical and medical equipment companies. Further growth is planned through the acquisition of additional medical communications companies and the continued development of digital and live event offerings. Add-on acquisitions in recent years have included the professional medical journal operations of Jobson and Lebhar-Friedman. Click Here To Visit Quadrant HealthCom Inc., Home Page
