Rhône Group

Overview

Rhône Group is a global private equity firm specializing in transatlantic middle-market investments. With approximately $11 billion in assets under management, the firm focuses on mergers and acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, recapitalizations, and partnerships, particularly in European and transatlantic markets. Rhône's investment philosophy emphasizes the development of strong, strategic partnerships with the companies in which it invests. Established in 1996 by Robert F. Agostinelli and M. Steven Langman, Rhône has built a cohesive team of experienced investment professionals operating across its offices in New York and London. The firm's disciplined investment strategy specializes in carve-out acquisitions and partnerships with founding families, primarily in the industrial and consumer sectors. Rhône's extensive network of relationships with founding families, entrepreneurs, leading corporations, management teams, and industry professionals enables it to discreetly capitalize on opportunities that are less accessible to regionally focused middle-market private equity firms. Over the years, Rhône has developed a diversified portfolio of companies, including investments in business services, chemicals, consumer products, food, industrials, materials, mining, and shipping industries. The firm's strong culture and one-team approach have been instrumental in driving growth and delivering value to its investors. Rhône's commitment to discretion and its relationship-based approach to sourcing provide access to high-quality investment opportunities, solidifying its reputation as an experienced and trusted partner in the private equity landscape.
