Cobepa is an independent, privately-held investment company with a net asset value of EUR 4.7 billion. Active since 1957, Cobepa has progressively developed into a well-recognized actor in private equity with offices in Brussels and New York.
Originally part of the Banque Paribas group, Cobepa became a listed company through the reverse takeover of a business quoted on the Brussels Stock Exchange in 1970. In the years that followed, they achieved impressive growth based on a strategy of investing mainly in family-owned companies. They were subsequently taken private by BNP Paribas, and even later were acquired in a buy-out by a group of European family investors.
The focus lies on companies with headquarters based in Europe or the United States. Equity tickets range from €50 to €300 million.
