Investindustrial awarded “Mediterranean Deal of
the Year” at Private Equity Awards 2015
Investindustrial has been awarded Mediterranean Deal of
the Year for the Avincis transaction at The Private Equity
Awards 2015, an industry-leading award arranged by trade
publication Real Deals. Investindustrial was selected by
a jury of seasoned private equity professionals and in
conjunction with research and performance evaluation
done by the Cass Business School. Avincis, the world
leading provider of mission-critical emergency aerial
services which was exited in 2014 after a seven year
holding period, was recognised as the most successful
deal last year in the Mediterranean region. The company
was sold to Babcock International Group Plc after having
increased its revenues by 4.5 times and its EBITDA by 5.6
times and transformed into a global market leader during
Investindustrial’s ownership.
