Warren Equity Partners, a lower mid-market firm that backs industrial businesses focused on upgrading and supporting infrastructure and buildings, has wrapped up its latest fundraising effort with $673m.

The lower mid-market firm’s latest fund is more than double the initial size of a predecessor raised in 2019.

The final tally for Warren Equity Partners Fund III LP and a related parallel fund more than doubled the initial size of the Jacksonville Beach, Fla.-based firm’s previous fund, which closed with $310m in 2019.

Founded in mid-2015 by Steven Wacaster, Scott Bruckmann, and Henrik Dahlback, WEP invests in the form of buyouts and recapitalisations in established North American companies with a focus on businesses that maintain, operate, and upgrade infrastructure. The Firm currently manages $1.2bn and has completed 48 transactions, including the acquisition of 14 platform companies, since inception.
