HIG Capital Demonstrates Multi-Strategy Strength with Active August Dealmaking
H.I.G. Capital capped an unusually busy August with a wave of transactions spanning infrastructure, healthcare, and environmental services while also building new capabilities in lending and secondaries. The activity illustrates how the $70 billion firm balances acquisitions, exits, and platform development across multiple strategies.
Deals Across Europe
In infrastructure, H.I.G. announced the sale of EYSA Group, crystallizing strong returns after transforming the Spanish parking operator into a global smart mobility platform. The firm also took control of Finland’s Fluo Group, a recycling business aligned with Europe’s shift toward circular economy models.
In healthcare, H.I.G. signed a strategic investment in Avanta Salud, a Spanish provider of occupational health and safety services with over one million employees under care.
Expanding the Platform
Alongside these deals, H.I.G. broadened its platform capabilities. The firm closed its $5.9 billion WhiteHorse Middle Market Lending Fund IV, a record for its lending division, and established a GP Solutions Platform by hiring a senior team from Morgan Stanley’s secondaries unit. The initiative will focus on continuation vehicles and GP-led transactions as liquidity solutions gain traction in private markets.
H.I.G. also added Harrison B. Davis as Managing Director in its Small-Cap & Growth division, enhancing its ability to scale lower middle market companies.
Positioned for Diversified Growth
Founded in 1993, H.I.G. Capital operates from 19 offices worldwide and has invested in more than 400 companies. Its portfolio firms generate over $53 billion in combined revenues. The flurry of August activity reflects the firm’s ability to execute on multiple fronts—exiting mature platforms, acquiring growth businesses, and raising record funds—all within a single month.
