Mutares AG has founded a new subsidiary, Mutares UK, thus opening its fourth investment office. The London office will focus on the sourcing and execution of new platform investments as well as add-on acquisitions in the UK and the Nordic market. For platform acquisitions, the focus is on medium-sized companies with operational development potential. The situations may include corporate carve-outs and other special situations in which the companies will benefit from a new long-term owner with in-house operational capabilities and an approach to actively support the development of its portfolio companies.

The company announced that the office is headed by Kari Nerg, Head of Mutares UK who will lead the activities in London together with Philip Szlang, Head of International M&A.
