Investindustrial was founded on the premise that to achieve superior returns in today’s European environment, an investor has to provide a real “value added” industrial approach and a pan-European strategy to investee companies. A key component of this strategy is having a network of experienced professionals who have extensive local knowledge and contacts, as well as the vision required to build substantial international businesses. In October 2005 Investindustrial closed its third Southern European buyout fund, Investindustrial III L.P. at a hard cap of €500 million, exceeding its original €440 million target. Investindustrial III has attracted a number of major new investors as well as strong support from existing relationships with more than €1 billion of interest.
