Good morning, Nina Lindholm here with the Europe Wire from the London newsroom.
As the world wakes up to the latest tariff announcement from the US, this morning seems an apt time to collate thoughts from dealmakers PE Hub has interviewed on the topic. We have snippets from interviews with TSG Consumer Partners, Cinven and Advent International.
Next, we have waste management deal, as Partners Group has agreed to acquire a “significant” minority stake in a business in Spain as part of a single-asset continuation fund deal.
To finish, we have an add-on deal by Extens-backed Imagine Human.
Tariff tension
The US announced a new set of tariffs yesterday via an executive order. As we wait for concrete actions, I wanted to gather some thoughts from dealmakers regarding tariffs PE Hub has reported on.
To learn how firms such as TSG Consumer Partners, Advent International and Cinven have prepared for tariffs, check out the premium Wire.
PE Hub is keen to hear your thoughts on the latest tariff announcement. Drop me a line at nina.l@pei.group for comments or to organize a chat.
Holding on
Stepping away from consumer and moving over to biogas. Partners Group has agreed to acquire a “significant” minority stake in Gestcompost, an organic waste treatment manager in Spain.
For details on what makes Spain a great destination for this deal, take a look at the full Wire coverage.
Spain's positive tailwinds have attracted other PE firms too. Just last week, PE Hub listed nine recent deals in the country.
Adding on
Let’s finish with one more deal. Extens portfolio company Imagine Human Group has acquired Saphir Consult and its product Qualipro, a software for managing quality, occupational health and safety, environmental (QHSE) certifications.
Check out the premium Wire to learn how Extens plans to grow Imagine Human.
That’s all from me this morning. Michael Schoeck will write to you late with the US edition, while Irien Joseph is on Europe duty tomorrow.
Cheers,
Nina
