Bahrain’s Investcorp sells industrial supplies firm for $273m


Bahraini alternative investment manager Investcorp has completed the sale of a Europe-focused industrial supplies distribution firm for €210m (US$273m).

Investcorp said in a statement on Monday that ownership of IPH Group would be transferred to PAI Partners, a Paris-based private equity firm.

Since acquiring IPH in 2006, Investcorp has seen the firm triple sales to €860m and grown EBITDA from €12m to €62m.

“Our ability to secure a healthy return from the sale of IPH Group despite the ongoing turbulence in the euro zone market is evidence of our ability to identify appropriate exit opportunities,” said Mohammed Al-Shroogi, president, Gulf business, at Investcorp.
