Northwoods Partners was built in 2022 out of the success the founding partners had at their previous company, ImageFIRST – a healthcare linen company started by the Berstein Family.
When the Berstein Family sold ImageFIRST to a private equity firm, the group found themselves eager for a new challenge. They knew together they could positively impact other companies and decided to form Northwoods Partners as a result. They have since continued to bring value to others while having fun together and doing what they love.
