Vlasic Group

Vlasic Group

Vlasic Group traces to 1964 and the wealth created by the Vlasic pickle sale. Paul A. Vlasic serves as chairman while Michael A. Vlasic and James J. Vlasic hold principal and manager roles respectively. The office continues to hold direct real-estate assets and energy interests alongside private-equity positions. Allocations span private equity, real estate and natural resources. Confirmed holdings include South State Commons I in Ann Arbor, Dexter Boulder Park, the Presidio Project in Fort Collins and Oak Valley Resources oil-and-gas properties in Texas and North Dakota. The firm also maintains a private-aircraft portfolio. Geographic reach covers multiple U.S. states plus selected opportunities in Africa. Investment stages include early-stage commitments alongside direct operating-company ownership. The office lists no disclosed AUM figure and maintains headquarters in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Paul Vlasic chairs the University of Michigan Center for Entrepreneurship and serves on the Henry Ford Health System board. The Vlasic Family Foundation operates as the primary philanthropic vehicle. No material operational events have been recorded in the last twenty-four months. Ownership remains within the Vlasic family branches, with external partners such as Frank A. Lodzinski and Mike Roth participating only in specific co-investment vehicles. This structure limits outside capital and keeps decision rights inside the founding family.
