Altamir 

Altamir SCA, formerly known as Altamir Amboise, operates as a private equity firm that engages in both direct equity investments and fund-of-fund strategies, primarily targeting small and medium-sized companies. For its direct investment activities, the firm focuses on middle-market opportunities, encompassing buyout and growth capital financing. A particular area of interest is the acquisition of underdeveloped divisions within larger corporations. When investing in other funds, Altamir gravitates towards private equity vehicles dedicated to growth capital and leveraged buyout transactions. The firm's sectorial interests are diverse, spanning healthcare, technology, media, and telecommunications (TMT), digital enterprises, various service industries, and retail and distribution. Within healthcare, it specifically seeks high-growth potential in areas such as health services (e.g., hospitalization, home care, medical analysis), medical devices, niche pharmaceutical laboratories, and related sectors like dermo-cosmetics, galenic development, and data/service providers for health organizations. Broader retail, consumer, business, and financial services also fall within its purview. Geographically, Altamir seeks unlisted companies primarily across Europe, including Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Monaco, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, and French-speaking Europe, alongside the United States, Canada, and key emerging markets like China, India, and Brazil. For small and mid-cap companies, its preference lies in Continental Europe, with a strong focus on France, Italy, and the Benelux region. For larger enterprises, its investment reach extends to Europe, North America, and emerging economies such as China, India, and Brazil. Altamir typically targets small and mid-cap companies with an enterprise value ranging from €50 million ($55.36 million) to €500 million ($553.6 million). For larger companies, the enterprise value for investment falls between €500 million ($553.60 million) and €3,000 million ($3,321.62 million). When investing in funds, the firm aims for a majority ownership stake or a leading shareholder position. Altamir aligns its investment and divestment processes with the private equity funds of Apax Partners France and Amboise Investissement under identical conditions, and also directly invests in funds managed or advised by Apax Partners France and Apax Partners LLC. The firm's objective is to exit its investments within a five-year timeframe, and all capital deployment is made from its own balance sheet. Altamir SCA was established in 1995 and is based in Paris, France.
