We've been building brand equity for over 30 years.
Since 1989, L Catterton has made more than 250 investments in leading consumer brands across all segments of the consumer industry. With approximately $34 billion of assets under management dedicated to growing middle market companies and emerging high-growth enterprises, we believe we are the largest and most experienced consumer-focused private equity group in the world. Our Industry Focus
Since our founding in 1989, we have focused exclusively on building iconic and enduring consumer brands. Our category-first approach is aimed at truly understanding what matters most to consumers in order to subsequently identify the specific categories and companies that will benefit from those consumer preferences. At the heart of this approach is our constant pursuit of grasping how various types of trends—demographic, psychographic, technological, geographic, and socioeconomic—will drive and impact consumer preferences and purchasing decisions.
While our objective—to invest in and build consumer businesses that are rooted in emotional connectivity and thereby in sticky relationships that we can scale—has remained the same over time, we have had to adapt our thinking, our capabilities, and our methodologies to the shifting market environment.

We want to get to know the team thoroughly, and for them to know us, before we invest together. Our relationship based approach permeates every decision we make. We provide not just finance, but ongoing financial know-how and support from initial investment through to exit. Over 50% of our investments have made acquisitions after the initial investment. From identifying investment opportunities to working with management teams - we go about things in a straightforward no-nonsense way.
