—About Us—

Referencia International is a private equity manager and investor. We invest in small to medium sized companies based in France and Italy and operating in the consumer goods and services sector.

At Referencia, we are committed and active investors and our goal is to invest in companies with a promising future and that can benefit from our knowledge, expertise and network to grow to the next stage in their cycle.

Our partners combine years of experience in management in the consumer goods sector and in private equity. They have a unique understanding of how to help businesses grow their potential, whether by accessing developed and/or emerging markets or by developing new business lines and of how to adapt and adjust for success.

At Referencia we are always fully committed to adding value for management and investors. Through our targeted investment approach, we believe that we can realise hidden value in European consumer companies.
