Fedrigoni marks the fourth private equity transaction where Canson is financial advisor and co-investor

MILAN and LONDON, July 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Canson Capital Partners (“Canson”) is pleased to announce that it has acted as lead financial advisor to BC Partners, a leading international investment firm, on its entering into a joint ownership agreement with Bain Capital Private Equity, a leading global private investment firm, for Fedrigoni, a leading global producer of premium self-adhesive labels and fibre-based luxury packaging.

As a key partner to the private equity consortium, Canson will have the ability to co-invest in the transaction through its merchant banking arm, acquiring a minority stake in Fedrigoni alongside BC Partners and Bain Capital. This is in line with Canson’s merchant banking model, connecting alternative sources of capital with unique investment opportunities.

Canson’s merchant banking arm has previously co-invested in a number of significant private equity transactions, including the acquisition of minority stakes in Refinitiv, the Financial and Risk division of Thomson Reuters; Kantar, WPP’s data, research and analytics business; and Infrastrutture Wireless Italiane S.p.A. (INWIT), Italy’s largest operator of mobile phone towers. Canson invested alongside Blackstone, Bain Capital and Ardian, respectively in these three carve-outs.

The Fedrigoni transaction is the fourth corporate partnership where Canson has both advised and co-invested since its inception in 2017. Canson manages approximately €500 million in aggregate AUM across three merchant banking funds.

Matteo Canonaco, Co-Founder of Canson, said: “We are very excited to partner with two leading private equity firms in BC Partners and Bain Capital to make this investment alongside Fedrigoni’s management team, whom we have admired for many years. This transaction is another significant milestone in the growth of Canson and again showcases our unique role as a merchant banking partner in the private-equity ecosystem.”
