Frequently asked questions
Who leads investment decisions at Motion Equity Partners?
Investment decisions rest with the three managing partners: Patrick Eisenchteter, Cédric Rays, and Anthony Baudoin. The firm's website lists them as its most senior professionals, and the partnership has remained intact for more than 20 years. No external investment committee or parent entity participates in deal approvals per available disclosures.
What is Motion Equity Partners' typical investment size?
The firm targets European mid-market companies with an enterprise value between €50m and €300m at entry. Its €1.2bn+ in assets under management supports control buyouts in fragmented industries, with bolt-on acquisitions executed during the hold period to build international scale.
Which sectors does Motion Equity Partners target?
The portfolio reveals concentration in industrial manufacturing and packaging (Omni-Pac, Tournaire), healthcare services and medical devices (Minlay, Banook), outsourced infrastructure and environmental services (Morrison Utility Services, Olmix), and consumer/wellness (Olyos). The firm does not publicize a strict sector-exclusion list.
Does Motion Equity Partners collaborate with co-investors or operate as a club?
Motion is an independent, partnership-owned firm and does not operate as a club or multi-family office. It underwrites transactions from a single fund structure and has not publicized co-investment vehicles or third-party LP co-investment sidecars, though large mid-market buyouts occasionally involve syndication with other institutional funds.
