Trilantic Capital Partners

Trilantic Capital Partners was established in 2009 following a management buyout of Lehman Brothers Merchant Banking (LBMB) from the bankruptcy estate of Lehman Brothers. The spin-out was led by five founding partners with the support of Reinet Investments. The firm's roots date back to LBMB's founding in 1986 during the leveraged buyout boom of the 1980s.

The firm operates through two primary arms, Trilantic North America and Trilantic Europe, targeting control and significant minority investments. The North American team focuses on business services, consumer, energy, and financial services, while the European team targets sectors including healthcare, industrials, and TMT.

Trilantic specializes in management buyouts, recapitalizations, and growth equity investments in the middle market. Since its inception, the firm has managed multiple institutional private equity funds, including the acquisition of notable entities like Kantar Public, which was subsequently rebranded as Verian.
