Bluegem Capital Partners (“Bluegem”), a leading European private equity firm focused on the consumer sector, has announced its expansion into Spain with the opening of a new office in Madrid, effective January 2026.
The move marks a strategic step to strengthen Bluegem’s presence in one of Europe’s most dynamic markets, particularly in consumer staples. It underscores the firm’s commitment to being closer to local entrepreneurs, management teams, and partners.
Bluegem Partner Mathieu Develay will relocate to Madrid to lead the firm’s Spanish operations, working in close collaboration with the London-based team and Operating Partner Enrique Francia Romero.
“Spain has been a cornerstone of our investment strategy, and this expansion reflects both the importance of the market and our ambition to grow alongside leading entrepreneurs and businesses,” said Mathieu Develay, Partner at Bluegem. “We are excited to continue building on our track record in Spain and to support the next generation of consumer champions.”
