In 2025, H.I.G. Capital—one of the leading international investment funds in the private equity and alternative assets sector —in partnership with the company’s management, acquired a majority stake in Protos, launching an ambitious long-term growth plan with the goal of establishing the Group as a leading provider of technical consulting services in Italy and abroad.
From advisory services to certification, your all-around technical partner
Since its inception in 1986, through an initiative by Assicurazioni Generali and several banks and industrial groups, Protos has brought together, within a single, flexible, and multisectoral structure, multisourcing expertise and skills capable of providing clients with effective support tools during the most critical decision-making phases, related to development and investment programs and transactions, financing and refinancing, insurance and reinsurance, as well as the acquisition and divestiture of companies, tangible and intangible corporate assets, and any other transaction connected to the production, execution, distribution, supply, and installation of goods, works, and services.
Protos’s extensive experience working with clients across various public and private sectors, both in Italy and abroad, enables the company to develop products and service offerings that are constantly evolving to meet the specific needs of each project, while adopting industry best practices, compliance rules, and business drivers, in order to gain a clear understanding of a project’s “sustainability” and the feasibility of an M&A transaction—primarily from a technical and valuation perspective—as well as potential risks and options for mitigating them.
