Treville & Co

Overview

Treville & Co is a private equity firm based in Copenhagen, Denmark, focusing on investments in Nordic mid-market companies. The firm was founded in 2016 by three former private equity partners, bringing over 25 years of combined experience to the table. Treville & Co specializes in control investments in companies with an EBITDA exceeding EUR 10 million, aiming to add value as active owners in special situations. Their portfolio spans various sectors, including electronics, retail, and energy, with a combined sales of over EUR 1 billion and an EBITDA of approximately EUR 100 million. The firm emphasizes a flexible investment mandate, allowing for independently structured deals with co-investors invited on a deal-by-deal basis. Treville & Co's investment approach is characterized by active ownership, utilizing a broad network and experience to drive value creation. They focus on mid-market companies, generally with an EBITDA above EUR 10 million, and are not investors in start-ups or scale-ups with no or limited earnings. The team invests time and resources in one-to-one dialogues, avoiding participation in structured auction processes, and takes a leading, active position in their companies to set direction and execute plans. This approach has led to a successful track record, including the acquisition of Flying Tiger Copenhagen in 2021, a global retail brand known for its unique product assortment. The firm's current portfolio also includes a distributor of innovative electronics products with a leading position in drones in the Nordics, a local energy partner operating across Denmark and Sweden with a leading position in LPG, and an operator of 200 unmanned filling stations across Denmark. Treville & Co's strategy is to invest in great companies under the right circumstances, free from arbitrary restrictions and politics, focusing on value-add situations where they can make a tangible impact as active owners. Their sector-agnostic approach allows them to invest across various industries, leveraging their extensive experience to drive growth and operational excellence in their portfolio companies. The firm's commitment to active ownership and value creation has established them as a significant player in the Nordic private equity landscape, with a diverse portfolio and a clear focus on sustainable growth and market leadership.
