Cinven

Cinven was founded in 1977 as the private investment arm of the British Coal pension scheme and became independent in 1995. It has since developed into a partner-owned private equity firm with offices across Europe and North America.

The firm invests through control positions in growth-oriented, market-leading companies across Business Services, Consumer, Financial Services, Healthcare, Industrials and TMT. Its approach combines sector expertise with regional networks and active engagement with management teams.

Cinven is particularly strong in complex, international buyouts and operationally intensive value creation, including scaling businesses, expanding into new markets and executing strategic change. Its track record includes more than 150 portfolio-company investments and over €50 billion raised across its funds.
