Tiger Infrastructure Partners takes majority stake in Orbis Protect

On 31 March 2026, Tiger Infrastructure Partners entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a majority stake in UK-based critical asset and vacant property protection specialist Orbis Protect from private equity sponsor Synova Capital. The transaction marks the successful exit of Synova’s four-and-a-half-year holding period initiated in 2021, a cycle overseen by Partner Ben Snow during which Orbis generated a 172% increase in group revenue and a 214% expansion in EBITDA. Incumbent management rolled over a meaningful equity interest into the new capital structure alongside Tiger to maintain operational and governance continuity. The acquisition thesis centers on scaling Orbis’s technology-enabled site security platform across the United Kingdom and continental Europe via a programmatic buy-and-build strategy, while accelerating R&D deployment into its proprietary AI-driven surveillance, video analytics, and smart-sensor technologies. Acquisition debt financing was structured and raised by Lincoln International's Capital Advisory Group. On the buy-side, Tiger Infrastructure Partners was advised by Lincoln International as exclusive financial adviser, led by Managing Director and Head of Benelux Martijn Koops and Managing Director Vinod Stalam. On the sell-side, Synova and exiting shareholders were advised by financial adviser DC Advisory, with OC&C delivering commercial due diligence, PwC executing financial and tax vendor due diligence, and Proskauer Rose serving as legal counsel. The management team was advised by Jamieson Corporate Finance, with Squire Patton Boggs providing legal counsel. The transaction remains subject to customary regulatory clearances.
