FairCap is a fast-growing, internationally oriented private equity firm specializing in the acquisition of small and medium-sized companies from large corporates through carve-outs and spin-offs. We transform these businesses into sustainable, resilient, and high-performing organizations through a long-term, entrepreneurial approach that prioritizes operational excellence and value creation for all stakeholders— including the environment (“win for all”).

We are a trusted and experienced partner in complex transactions, committed to providing a strong and stable “good home” for the companies we acquire. Following closing, we work closely with management teams to drive sustainable value creation, with a clear focus on long-term growth and operational improvement. Since the launch of FairCap Italy at the end of 2022, we have successfully completed three complex carve out transactions, two of which have already been exited successfully. To further accelerate our growth and strengthen our presence in Italy, we are now looking to appoint an Investment Director / Head of M&A Italy (m/f/d) to join our team and play a key role in our continued expansion.
