Investindustrial has closed its flagship Fund VIII at €4bn, surpassing its €3.75bn target and reinforcing its position as a leading private equity investor in Europe’s mid-market.

The successful fundraise saw strong re-up demand from existing investors alongside significant capital from new global LPs. Backers include pension funds, insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds, banks, endowments, and family offices. Approximately 57% of commitments came from Europe, 23% from North America, and the remaining 20% from other international regions.

Fund VIII will pursue control investments in high-quality, often family-owned, Southern European companies with global revenues and growth potential. The firm will continue executing its operationally intensive buy-and-build strategy, with over 217 add-on acquisitions already completed across previous funds.

Andrea C. Bonomi, Chairman of Investindustrial’s Industrial Advisory Board, highlighted that Fund VIII cements the firm’s leadership in mid-market private equity and underscores its ability to create “better companies positioned for sustainable, long-term success.”

With over €17bn in raised fund capital and more than 200 professionals across offices in Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia, Investindustrial remains focused on accelerating value creation through industrial expertise and global platforms.
