Industrials & Energy

We are one of the world’s leading private equity investors in the Industrials & Energy sector and have a proven track record with a 30 year history.

In the last five years we have invested more than €2.5bn in outstanding businesses across Europe, North America and Asia.
 

Companies in the Industrials & Energy sector are facing unprecedented challenges and opportunities from the new world economies. These are exciting times for the most ambitious and progressive businesses. With a wide view across the sector and a presence in three continents, including our new office in São Paulo, Brazil, we are well-placed to work in active partnership with fast-growing industrial businesses that thrive on change.

The companies we support increase their scale, efficiency and profitability by streamlining operations and making strategic acquisitions. In many cases, Asia and Eastern Europe are critical to their plans, not simply as centres for lower-cost production but also as increasingly wealthy and attractive markets.

The companies of greatest interest to 3i operate in six areas: Automotive, Chemicals, Construction & Building Products, Electronics & Electricals, Industrial Manufacturing and Oil, Gas & Power.
