Historical & Selective Positions
Strategic Industrial Positions
Jolina Capital has held influential positions in key Canadian industrial companies, including TransForce (TFI International), a North American transportation leader. These strategic holdings expand our understanding of essential infrastructure and provide diversified exposure to critical supply chain sectors.
Private Equity & Opportunistic Investments
We selectively invest in private companies that operate within essential service industries or complement our core sectors. These investments emphasize strong governance, clear value creation, and long-term operational stability.
Sector Deep Dives
Dairy Processing
Dairy stands as one of the world's most stable, necessary food categories. It exhibits long-term, non-cyclical demand and supports vast supply chain networks. Saputo's global footprint provides diversification and operational strength across markets.
Forestry & Engineered Wood
Arbec operates in an industry central to housing, manufacturing, and export economics. Forestry requires expertise, resource stewardship, regulatory compliance, and long-term discipline—values fully aligned with Jolina Capital's philosophy.
Logistics & Industrial Infrastructure
Transportation and logistics form the circulatory system of the modern economy. Our historical involvement with TFI International provided insight into consolidation strategies, operational excellence, and long-term industrial growth models.
Private Equity & Industrial Innovation
We identify opportunities in essential sectors and adjacent industries with high entry barriers, stable demand, and responsible leadership. We avoid speculative ventures, focusing instead on real-economy stability.
"Our portfolio reflects our belief that essential industries form the core of economic resilience and generational value."
A Family Tradition of Giving Back
At Jolina Capital, we believe that true success includes the responsibility to uplift others. The Amelia & Lino Saputo Foundation is the heart of that belief — a place where compassion meets action, and where community support becomes a shared purpose.
Founded by Amelia and Lino Saputo, the Foundation was created to help young people, families, and communities build brighter futures. Its mission is simple but powerful: support organizations that educate, empower, heal, and inspire.
Areas of Focus
The Foundation lives within Jolina Capital because our belief is clear: strong enterprises and strong communities grow together. When we support people, we support the future.
