Blackpearl Capital Management has launched its third fund, with €150 million in committed capital, through two strategic investments in key sectors of the Spanish economy: road transportation and logistics, and the manufacture of precast concrete products for infrastructure projects.
The first investment was made in Transportes Hermanos Chinchón, a family-owned company specializing in national and international road freight transportation. The private equity firm acquired a significant stake in the business with the aim of supporting both organic and acquisitive growth and strengthening its position in a sector undergoing rapid consolidation.
As an initial step in this expansion strategy, Transportes Chinchón completed the acquisition of Grupo Transleyca through the purchase of its productive unit. The transaction included the entire group, comprising Transportes de León y Cataluña, Mareltrans Logística, Logística y Transportes Caprimar, and Transleyca. Together, these companies employ nearly 500 people, operate a fleet of approximately 300 trucks, and maintain facilities in Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Granada, and León, where the group’s headquarters are located.
Grupo Transleyca had established itself as one of the leading transportation and logistics operators in northwestern Spain, providing services to major retail and distribution clients. After entering insolvency proceedings in 2024, its acquisition by Transportes Chinchón ensured business continuity, preserved jobs, and safeguarded a logistics infrastructure of strategic importance to the sector. Among its most notable clients is Mercadona, Spain’s largest supermarket chain.
The second investment under Fund III was made in Prephor (Prefabricados y Postes de Hormigón), an industrial company headquartered in Palencia with nearly five decades of experience. Founded in 1978, Prephor specializes in the design, manufacture, and commercialization of precast concrete structures for power infrastructure, telecommunications networks, renewable energy projects, civil engineering works, and data centers.
The company’s product portfolio includes concrete poles, monoblock structures, modular buildings, and other technical components designed for projects requiring durable, high-performance solutions. Leveraging its engineering and manufacturing capabilities, Prephor has positioned itself as a specialized supplier to industries benefiting from the energy transition and the ongoing digitalization of infrastructure.
Blackpearl’s investment is expected to enable both companies to accelerate their growth plans and strengthen their competitive positions in markets offering significant opportunities for consolidation and expansion.
