Partnera
Overview
Partnera is a Finnish private investment firm based in Oulu, specializing in sustainable development sectors. The company focuses on investing in and managing unlisted companies operating in energy, manufacturing, circular economy, waste management, healthcare, logistics, and social services. Partnera aims to create long-term value for its shareholders by supporting the growth and development of its portfolio companies. The firm's investment strategy involves acquiring majority stakes in companies that align with its vision of promoting sustainable development. Partnera has been active in divesting non-strategic holdings to concentrate on its core investments. For instance, in May 2024, Partnera sold its shares in Finda Oyj and Telebusiness InWest Oy to Rival Invest III Oy and OTC-sijoitus Oy, respectively, for EUR 29.1 million. This divestment was part of Partnera's strategy to focus on developing existing holdings and pursuing new acquisitions that support sustainable development. Partnera's portfolio includes companies such as Foamit Group, a leading glass recycler and foam glass manufacturer in Finland. In June 2025, Partnera agreed to acquire Tesi's ownership stake in Foamit Group, making Tesi a minority shareholder in Partnera. This move underscores Partnera's commitment to expanding its presence in the circular economy sector and enhancing its portfolio's value. In September 2020, Partnera's shares were listed on the Nasdaq First North Growth Market Finland, marking a significant milestone in the company's development. The listing aimed to provide shareholders with a more liquid and transparently valued share, reflecting Partnera's growth and strategic focus on sustainable investments. Overall, Partnera continues to evolve its investment approach, emphasizing sustainable development and strategic growth within its portfolio companies, while actively managing its holdings to align with its long-term objectives.
