Global investment firm Carlyle’s Global Credit platform has provided a strategic capital package of NOK2.75bn ($250m) to Jordanes ASA, one of Norway’s leading brand houses to finance a management buyout of Jordanes, led by Co-Founders Jan Bodd and Stig Sunde.
The funding will also be used to refinance the company’s existing debt and fund future growth.
Jordanes is focused on everyday products and services, with a diverse portfolio including more than 20 brands, spanning across foods, fitness and beauty, casual dining, as well as international brands. Since its inception in 2007, the company has continued to expand its portfolio to include regional brands including Sørlandschips, Synnøve, Peppes Pizza, and Bodylab.
This transaction follows the final close of the third Carlyle Credit Opportunities Fund (CCOF III) in December 2024, with $7.1bn in investable capital.
