Plena Group

Plena

"Plena Group was founded as a Swedish family investment company in 1980. We are now an investment house based in Luxembourg that mainly focuses on Emerging Markets.

Plena has over the years operated companies in several countries in mature as well as developing and early stage markets. We have held assets in most sectors of industry and commerce. Plena Group focuses on emerging markets such as MENA, Africa and the Far East in industries such as Construction, Energy, Finance and Venture Capital.

Our sustained success results from fostering an entrepreneurial mind-set amongst our managers, employing cautious financial policies, managing investments actively as well as committing to the enterprises over a longer period. Typical investment size ranges from EUR 500 thousand up to EUR 20 million.

At Plena we deploy capital depending on the investment opportunity:
  • Controlling stakes: Plena generally takes the lead role in managing and developing businesses within the industries we operate.
  • Minority stakes and/or listed SME companies: Plena collaborates with management and can take a supervisory position.
  • Asset Backed Lending and/or convertible loans: Plena aims to, on a selective basis and with strong collateral and underlying enterprises, grow this area of its portfolio.
Plena Group is always looking for investment opportunities which fit our criteria. We hope you will find a potential partnership with PLENA a compelling proposition and look forward to hearing from you...."
