Griffin Capital Partners – is the new name of Griffin Real Estate, investor and asset management company. The company starts operating under a new name and changes its visual identity to further emphasize its private equity investments that it has been carrying out in recent years. The change is also intended to better reflect the strong competencies of Griffin’s team of experts, not only in real estate but also in private equity.
“Over the last 15 years, we have become the most dynamic and innovative investor not only in Poland, but also in the entire Central and Eastern Europe. We focused our activities mainly on the real estate sector, but our strategy has changed over time. We created operational platforms related to the real estate area, but also expanded the profile of our investments to include private equity. We are proud of our achievements on the Polish real estate market and the many innovative concepts we have introduced, but we want the name to fully reflect the expanded scope of our company – private equity, real estate and a unique team of specialists in both these areas,” said Maciej Dyjas, Partner Managing Director at Griffin Capital Partners.
“Private equity is at the heart of Griffin, and we have recently decided to expand this pillar of our business even further. We have invested in projects that expanded our portfolio to include new areas, including Proservice, a fintech platform; ITK-Avenga, an IT service outsourcing company; as well as a leading brand on the market of children’s products in Central Europe, SMYK, which includes both a chain of brick-and-mortar stores and an e-commerce platform. Our recent purchase of a majority stake in PAD-RES, a leading clean energy development company in Poland, is a good example of the direction we are headed. We want the company name to better reflect our long-term approach,” said Nebil Senman, Managing Partner at Griffin Capital Partners.
