Arle Capital Partners Limited is a UK-based private equity partnership. The team, comprising 16 investment professionals spanning 10 nationalties, manages a diverse portfolio of 12 international companies valued at over €2 billion. Since taking on the portfolio, Arle has returned €730 million to investors, realising three investments: Ontex, Equity Trust and Capital Safety Group.
The Arle team blends proven investment professionals with senior global industrialists which provides a unique proposition for its portfolio companies. The investment executives have a strong track record of 25 buyouts and Arle's industrial partners have many decades of global CEO and business expertise. They include Arle's Chairman Sir George Buckley (formerly President & CEO of 3M), Fredrik Arp (previously CEO of Volvo Cars and Trelleborg) and Anders Pettersson (former CEO of Thule AB & Capital Safety and now CEO of Hilding Anders).
From an investment perspective, the partnership focuses on three distinct sectors: Services, Industrials and Energy but more specifically in the area where those sectors intersect. In the future, Arle will invest in companies located in the North Sea Rim whose activities operate within this sector overlap and whose characteristics demonstrate clear potential for expansion into the fast growing BRIC countries.
