About Triton Partners

Triton Partners is a European investment firm, founded in 1997, and owned by its partners.

We invest in medium-sized European businesses that we believe are future winners. Typically, these are companies which deliver mission-critical goods and services, operate in expanding profit pools, are backed by megatrends, and which are below their full potential.

Triton Partners focuses on operational improvements to create value, while considering sustainability factors as important tools to manage risk and build better businesses for the long-term. This approach is applied consistently across our three core sectors industrial tech, business services, and healthcare, where we have deep expertise and a proven track record built over 25+ years.

Triton Partners' investors include, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies and endowments, among others.
