Pan-European private equity firm IK Investment Partners (IK) has opened a new office in Copenhagen, as part of its ongoing commitment to investing in the Nordic region.
The Copenhagen office will be led by Partner Thomas Klitbo, who has been with IK since 2007. Thomas will be supported by the existing Danish/Norwegian Mid Cap team consisting of a total of six investment professionals, as well as a local extension of IK’s Small Cap team.
Thomas Klitbo, Partner at IK Investment Partners, says: “We are thrilled to be opening a Copenhagen office. It is part of IK’s efforts to establish local presence in the geographies which we invest in. We truly believe that our local networks and knowledge combined with international capabilities differentiates IK from other private equity firms”.
IK is organised into regional teams focused on investments in the Benelux, DACH, France and Nordic regions. These teams operate from local offices in Amsterdam, Hamburg, Paris, Stockholm and now Copenhagen.
Christopher Masek, Partner and CEO at IK Investment Partners, says: “Ever since IK’s inception 30 years ago, our strategy has remained the same: making a positive difference to the companies we support whilst creating value for our investors. Growing our regional presence is central to our strategy and we value the local expertise and insights of our investment teams.”
