Admaius Capital Partners acquires leading certified reference materials manufacturer

Admaius is investing alongside TPG’s senior management, led by Chief Executive Raksha

Naidoo, via a transaction that will see the Company leave parent Synerlytic Group Holdings.

TPG is headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa but is a global market leader. Commercial and mining labs all over the world use TPG’s products and participate in the Company’s accredited Proficiency Testing Schemes to improve their analytical accuracy.

TPG is active in a market with strong tailwinds and space for deep secular growth. The Company is well-positioned to take advantage of these factors, benefitting from specialised manufacturing knowledge, deep product insight and a well-established, technically strong leadership team. Admaius is excited to support Raksha and her team to deliver a clear and coherent strategy for both organic growth and potential future acquisitions.

TPG operates to the highest environmental standard, maintaining stringent ISO certifications and boasting a zero waste manufacturing environment. The mining industry as a whole is working hard to ensure ever better environmental standards and governance, and TPG plays a key part in ensuring a sustainable, traceable supply chains. Additionally, TPG is a level two contributor to Broad-based Black Economic Empowerment in South Africa, in-line with Admaius’ impact investment approach.

Legal advisors on the transaction were Bowmans, with HWF Partners and Grayston Elliot providing risk and tax advice.

Marlon Chigwende, the Managing Partner of Admaius, said:
“The Particle Group is an exceptionally strong business with first-rate management and a clear

strategy for continued growth.

“Admaius has got to know Raksha and her team very well and we are confident that Admaius and the TPG management team will form a successful partnership. Raksha possesses the deep industry knowledge, passion for the business, and drive that are key for any successful business leader.”
