Abac Capital backs building materials specialist Isolana
Abac Capital has acquired a stake in Spanish building materials supplier Isolana via a capital increase.
Unquote understands that, following this deal, Abac will control a 30% stake in the company.
The GP invested in the company via its Abac Solutions I fund, which held a €320m final close in May 2016. The vehicle targets primarily majority stakes in Spanish mid-market companies with an enterprise value in excess of €30m and deploys equity tickets ranging between €20-50m.
Isolana plans to use the fresh capital to consolidate its market position in Spain and further accelerate its growth both organically and via new acquisitions.
