Industrial
ADVENT INTERNATIONAL HAS BEEN INVESTING IN THE INDUSTRIAL SECTOR FOR OVER 30 YEARS AND HAS COMPLETED OVER 85 INVESTMENTS IN 27 COUNTRIES WORLDWIDE.
The sector is largely capex-intensive and cyclical. Our approach is to look for growth in subsectors and geographies where we have extensive networks and knowledge, building sustainable business models that incorporate the cycle but are not dependent on it for expansion.
Following are some examples of subsectors we target:
-

DISTRIBUTION - Cyclical industry in recovery
- Undercapitalized businesses present operational improvement opportunities
- Large fragmented markets with industry consolidation potential
- Family owners and undermanaged businesses with operational improvement potential
