Qualitas Equity Partners

Qualitas Equity Partners is a Madrid-based private equity and venture capital firm founded in 2003. It specializes in direct investments, secondary direct transactions, and fund-of-funds strategies across Western Europe, with a primary focus on Spain and Portugal. The firm typically invests between €5 million and €25 million in unquoted Iberian companies with turnover above €25 million and sales between €20 million and €100 million, and also allocates €50 million to €500 million for private equity funds in its fund-of-funds program. It pursues both majority and minority stakes, often alongside co-investors, with exits aimed in three to seven years. Sector interests include industrials, security and safety services, human resources and employment services, consumer products, lodging and fast food, specialized services, and renewable electricity and electric power. While centered on Iberia, Qualitas Equity Partners engages in select opportunities across Europe, including major markets such as Germany, France, the Netherlands, and the UK, focusing on growth, buyouts, buy-and-build, and related flexibility in middle-market companies.
