The Bluegem investment team works alongside experienced portfolio management and functional experts to deploy a proven toolkit for accelerating value creation. The Bluegem value acceleration playbook is based on data analytics and includes, among other things, 360-degree business digitalization involving the use of artificial intelligence, international expansion and product innovation.

Founded by two experienced private equity executives, AREV Partners invests in European private companies across the healthcare, digital and technology, B2B services and products and consumer sectors. The fund targets businesses that can significantly transform or scale, partnering with ambitious entrepreneurs and management teams. Their approach combines strategic, financial and operational expertise in conjunction with a wide-reaching industry network.

Established in 1970 in France, Groupe Pinard specializes in the design and manufacture of packaging solutions for reputable luxury brands in the BPC space through its Pinard Beauty Pack (PBP) subsidiary and for pharmaceutical customers through its Lablabo subsidiary.
