Long-standing commitment to European mid-market investments

We have supported the European mid-market since 1985, and we have been active investors in each of our three principal markets – UK, France and Germany – as well as in the Nordic and Benelux regions.

We typically invest in high quality international businesses with an enterprise value of between €25 million and €300 million, which we look to back through their next phase of growth, which will typically include a buy & build, roll-out or expansion strategy.

Sigma Components

Business overview

Sigma is a UK headquartered precision engineering components manufacturer for the commercial aerospace sector. Sigma is an international leader in its chosen niche markets of aerospace pipes, ducts, fabrications and precision surface finishing.

In 2016, the company had four sites in the UK and two in China and employed approximately 750 people. Sigma serves global aerospace customers such as Rolls Royce, Safran, Airbus, Bombardier and BAE Systems. Sigma has a team of over 40 engineers and has a strong track record of bringing new products to market.

Investment rationale

The outlook for commercial aircraft and aircraft engine production is very positive, and Sigma is well positioned on several key platforms. As well as supporting the management team’s plans for continued operational improvements and investment, in a relatively fragmented marketplace, we also aim to pursue buy & build opportunities to expand into new geographic regions and adjacent market segments.
