Partners Group, one of the largest firms in the global private markets industry, acting on behalf of its clients, has agreed to acquire a significant minority stake in Gestcompost, the largest organic waste treatment manager in Spain.
Partners Group will invest more than €120 million ($132 million) through its infrastructure secondaries business, acting as a cornerstone investor in a continuation fund for Gestcompost that was successfully established and will be managed by current owner Suma Capital. As part of the transaction, Partners Group will take two seats on the company’s board.
Gestcompost specializes in the treatment of organic waste, including industrial, animal by-product, agri-food, urban and agricultural waste. The company has three operational organic waste-management sites that can process 1.2 million tons of waste each year. Gestcompost treats waste through either composting it or by applying an anaerobic digestion process to create biogas. In addit
