Altor Equity Partners

Private equity firm Altor Equity Partners makes leveraged buyout and growth capital investments in the Nordic and Baltic countries and the German-speaking countries of the DACH region. The Stockholm, Sweden-based company was established in 2003 by a group led by Harald Mix, who had previously worked as a partner at another Nordic-focused private equity firm, Industri Kapital.

Since its founding in 2005, the company has raised almost €6.2 billion across three funds. In May 2003, the company successfully closed on €650 million in investor commitments for the Altor 2003 Fund, its first investment vehicle. Altor Fund II (which raised €1.2 billion) and Altor Fund III (which raised €2.0 billion) closed in March 2006 and August 2008, respectively. After receiving commitments totaling €2 billion, Altor concluded its fourth fund in July 2014. In 2019, Altor closed its fifth fund with pledges of €2.5 billion.
