Antin Infrastructure Partners
Antin Infrastructure Partners S.A.S. is a private equity firm exclusively dedicated to infrastructure investments. The company deliberately shies away from projects involving substantial technological or commercial risks, particularly those linked to client development in competitive markets. It also carefully avoids partnerships that might introduce counterparty risk. Its investment focus spans critical infrastructure sectors, including transportation, energy, environmental services, and telecommunications. Within these areas, Antin targets a wide array of assets. Transport investments include toll roads, tunnels, highways, tramways, bridges, airports, ports, urban rail, bus networks, car parks, and Motorway Service Areas (MSAs). In the energy and environment space, it considers gas storage, LNG terminals, transmission infrastructure (like pipelines and high-voltage electricity), distribution networks, public works, non-merchant power generation, water infrastructure (pipelines and sewage units), and waste management. Telecommunications assets in its portfolio comprise GSM towers, ADSL, broadcast, and cable networks, alongside satellites. The firm typically allocates capital to unlisted companies situated across continental Europe, a geographical scope that also includes the United Kingdom. Individual investment commitments generally fall between €200 million (approximately $231.86 million) and €700 million (approximately $811.50 million). Antin may secure either minority or majority equity interests, always ensuring representation on the board of directors. While primarily making equity investments, it demonstrates flexibility, participating either independently or as part of a co-investment consortium. Founded in 2007, Antin Infrastructure Partners S.A.S. is headquartered in Paris, France, with additional offices in London (UK), Luxembourg, Singapore, and New York (USA).
