Mutares accelerates deal activity with €2.5bn acquisitions pipeline
Mutares is preparing for a significant increase in transaction activity in Q2 2026, as the private equity firm advances both its acquisition and exit pipeline.
The firm expects three exit signings and four closings in the quarter, alongside five acquisitions set to complete, including transactions involving Wärtsilä’s Gas Solutions unit and SABIC’s Engineering Thermoplastics business.
Two additional acquisitions have already been signed and are pending regulatory approval, further strengthening the firm’s near-term deal pipeline.
The first three acquisitions alone represent annualised revenues of approximately €2.5bn, highlighting the scale of Mutares’ expansion strategy.
At the same time, the firm is accelerating exit processes across its portfolio, with additional transactions being prepared in the energy infrastructure and defence sectors, where investor demand remains strong.
“The second quarter will be characterized by very high transaction momentum – on both the acquisition and exit sides,” said Johannes Laumann, CIO of Mutares. “Our pipeline is more advanced than it has been in a long time and lays the foundation for a significant acceleration of our growth trajectory.”
The increased activity is expected to support revenue growth, expand Mutares’ international footprint, and deepen its portfolio across key sectors.
The update reflects continued private equity momentum in industrial and infrastructure-related assets, particularly as competition for high-quality targets drives attractive exit valuations.
