International holding company Bergamo Acquisition and its subsidiaries are actively creating a diversified portfolio of varying-size companies using strategic one-off investments, together with acquisitions and co-investments. The company is working with significant institutional investors, such as private equity funds, hedge funds, investment banks, and related institutions, and is targeting, among others, alternative energy, biotechnology, and healthcare markets.
Utilizing a unique set of well-established high-level financial connections, Bergamo has developed a distinctive process of co-investments that provides it a significant flow of funds for the separate and independent financing of acquisitions. In May 2012, the company purchased 100% of the stock in a European entity via its wholly owned subsidiary in Singapore to implement its investment strategies using both European currency and U.S. dollars. The company leverages its broad network within the global institutional investment and banking industries to identify potential opportunities.
Key to the development and implementation of this strategy is Bergamo’s globally-experienced management team.
