Strong Returns and Strategic Expansion
Partners Group Private Equity Ltd., listed on the FTSE 250, also participated in the Apex investment. The London-listed vehicle confirmed it will receive approximately €25.2 million ($29.2 million) from the deal, including €8.5 million already realized through earlier returns.
Sheng Liu, Managing Director of Private Equity at Partners Group, highlighted the firm’s role in Apex’s global expansion:
“We helped Apex strengthen its international presence and broaden its client base despite turbulent trade conditions. It now stands ready to thrive independently under Kuehne+Nagel’s global platform.”
Deal Set to Close by Year-End
Kuehne+Nagel stated that the transaction will be settled in cash by December, financed through available liquidity and existing credit lines. The sale’s closing is anticipated by the end of 2025, marking a strategic consolidation within the global logistics landscape.
With this divestment, Partners Group cements its reputation for transformative investments and lucrative exits, while Kuehne+Nagel further fortifies its standing as one of the world’s most dominant logistics giants.
