The fund closed EUR 100m above its target, said a press release from the global private equity firm focused on buyouts of mid-market companies in Europe and selectively in North America.

"The fund will continue the strategy employed by Investindustrial's previous two funds of making majority investments in European lower mid-market companies with strong internationalization potential," claimed the release.

Investments will predominantly focus on companies headquartered in Italy, Spain, Portugal, or Switzerland, it added.

The fund completed its first investment in Arterex, a global, buy-and-build opportunity in the manufacturing of specialty medical compounds and devices, in Q4 2022.
