MOTION EQUITY PARTNERS takes majority stake in POLARIS

Motion Equity Partners has acquired a majority stake in Polaris, a leading manufacturer of omega-3 concentrates, from Demea Agro, which had invested in the company three years ago. This transaction is part of a broader strategy to drive external growth and international expansion, with ambitious plans to establish a US-based industrial site and double in size within the next five years. Historical shareholders of Polaris, including Cerea Partners, Seventure, and Picama, are reinvesting alongside Motion Equity Partners, which brings its expertise in supporting industrial companies in their international development. This deal enables Demea Agro to achieve a 3.5x return on its initial investment, with an internal rate of return (IRR) of 50%. The acquisition also strengthens Motion Equity Partners' portfolio of investments in high-growth industrial businesses.
