Providing industrial expertise, operational focus and
global platforms to accelerate value creation and
international expansion.
Investindustrial is one of Europe’s leading independent
investment groups which provides industrial solutions and
capital to medium-size companies that are leaders in their fields.
Founded from an industrial conglomerate, today Investindustrial
has an embedded leadership position in Southern Europe
with the longest history (established in 1990), the deepest
track record (48 portfolio investments), the largest team (67
professionals across three continents), and has become the
largest private equity investor of institutional capital (
€
2.9
billion AUM) in this region.
Investindustrial uses proprietary networks developed across
several cycles to identify high-quality, often complex, investment
opportunities in mid-market sectors well-known to the firm and
pursues a consistent, industrially-driven investment approach
to unlock value. Active ownership and operational improvement
remain at the core of Investindustrial’s value creation strategies
which typically focus on accelerating growth and profitability
through globalisation and/or industrial repositioning.
Investindustrial advocates the use of moderate leverage
commensurate with each company’s growth and capex ambitions
to build sustainable businesses. This approach resonates
well with industrial trade buyers with whom Investindustrial
actively engages throughout the holding period and strongly
considers, now as always, a preferred exit route for portfolio
companies. Investindustrial has demonstrated a strong degree
of discipline across cycles by continuing to invest strictly in the
mid-market, at times a contrarian approach to asset-gathering
competition where scale has put investment returns and
therefore trusted relationship and long term visibility at risk.
This discipline has allowed Investindustrial to be sensitive

to the co-investment requirements of its trusted long-term
limited partners and to remain aligned with their objectives.
The general partners and investment managers manage the
funds in the interest of the limited partners and therefore in an
autonomous and independent manner from the other group
companies. Investments and divestments are made (and shares
in portfolio companies are held) by the applicable investment
or holding company of each fund. Decisions over investments
and divestments, including the exercise of the voting rights
over the shares of the portfolio companies, are made by the
applicable investment or holding company board of directors
in an autonomous and independent manner, consistent with
the applicable corporate governance rules and by-laws. It is the
responsibility of the management of each portfolio company to
operate the company on a day-to-day basis.
