Vestar Capital Partners

Welcome to Vestar.

Vestar Capital Partners is a leading global private equity firm. For 20 years, we’ve been seeking out talented management teams and supporting their entrepreneurial dreams, allowing them to run their companies as owners, with an eye toward long-term value creation.

Our investments in management have achieved a performance record that’s among the best in our field: More than 65 transactions completed, in companies with a total value of over $30 billion, with consistently excellent returns. We’re now on our fifth investment fund, managing a committed equity pool of $3.7 billion, with total assets under management of $7 billion. We can invest up to $700 million in a single transaction.

From our headquarters in New York, and through offices and advisory affiliates in the U.S. and Europe, we invest in a wide variety of industries around the globe, in companies that primarily range in value from $250 million to $3 billion. Our extensive global reach makes us unique among private equity firms that focus on companies in that size range.

Wherever we invest, whatever the industry or amount of our investment, our core philosophy is always the same: Partner with talented people, develop long-term relationships based on trust and honesty, and together we will achieve success.

Since people are the focus of our investments, we’ve chosen to make them the focus of our website as well. In videos throughout the site, our professionals and management partners will tell you about Vestar in their own words. We hope this will give you a true picture of who we are and how we work, and what a partnership with Vestar is all about.
