Investindustrial (the “Firm”) is pleased to announce the final closing of its latest flagship fund, Investindustrial VIII ( “Fund VIII”), with €4 billion in commitments, exceeding its €3.75 billion target. This successful fundraising highlights the Firm’s position in the market with a distinctive operationally driven investment approach and solidifies its leadership in the mid-market.
Fund VIII will continue to build on the Firm’s successful strategy of sourcing proprietary mid-market investment opportunities, with a particular focus on high-quality Southern European businesses with global revenues and growth potential. Investindustrial is a leading firm in the region and a partner of choice for family-owned businesses seeking to scale strategically and achieve international leadership.
With Fund VIII, Investindustrial will leverage its industrial approach and global team of 200+ professionals across 8 offices and 3 continents to support businesses in their strategic, global transformation. Its buy-and-build strategy, with 217 add-on acquisitions to date - approximately 2 per month - underscores its ability to execute complex value creation plans and drive consistent returns for its limited partners by creating better companies.
