Investindustrial executed a series of value creation initiatives with the company, including growing in North American and Asian markets and the launch of new products.

Neolith had EUR 145m in revenues in 2021 and achieved EBITDA CAGR of approximately 20% under the sponsor’s ownership, according to the press release.
