01 The Company
We invest in businesses in the Middle-East & Europe
Headquartered in Dubai, Arboris is an investment firm focused on private equity and joint venture investments in the Middle East and Europe.

02 Our Focus
We leverage our in-depth understanding and experience of the Middle-East to generate superior returns alongside our partners
Private Equity Investment
We invest alongside entrepreneurs in small and medium-sized businesses which are leaders in their field but operating below their full potential
Joint Ventures
We structure and invest in joint-ventures with global technology or industrial partners seeking to expand in the Middle East
03 Our Values
What guides us as we engage with our partners and portfolio companies
Long-Term View
As we invest our own capital, we are not bound by third-party investors with short-term return expectations allowing us to deliver long-term value creation strategies
Creating Value
Beyond just providing capital, we leverage on our decades of investment experience and our network of experts in the region and take an active part in business development, strategic guidance and talent recruitment
Flexibility
We understand our partners each have different requirements and we strive to adapt to circumstances committing to explore different stages of growth as well as alternative investment and governance structures
04 Investment Criteria
We target platforms generating strong growth with strong regionalization potential in the Middle East
Management
We invest alongside management teams with a history of profitable growth and value creation and demonstrating significant industry experience
Transaction Type
We entertain various potential transactions structures such as management buyouts, buy & builds, family succession and corporate divestitures
Regionalization
We prioritize opportunities with strong regionalization potential as a lever to accelerate top-line growth in the Middle-East
