The Equitium Group was founded in 2006 by former consultants of McKinsey & Company.

Equitium acquires small- to medium-size underperforming companies and drives significant performance improvements through its “Active Ownership” approach. In contrast to traditional private equity firms, Equitium provides truly hands-on strategic and operational support to strengthen and improve the companies in which it invests. The firm’s in-house team of world-class consultants works on the ground over extended periods of time, actively driving profitable growth in its portfolio companies. Additionally, Equitium specializes in the consumer industry, particularly the luxury sector.
