Antin Infrastructure Partners is a private equity firm focused on infrastructure investment, with offices in Paris, London and Luxembourg.[2]
History
Antin was founded in Paris in 2007.[3][4] Initially sponsored by BNP Paribas, the firm bought out the bank's 40% stake in 2012. Led by former banker Alain Rauscher, Antin manages four funds for infrastructure investment in Europe and North America, each with a focus on telecommunications, transportation, energy and the environment, or social sectors.[5] In 2014, the firm owned a third of all trains running in the UK.[6] As of September 2021, Antin had 75 partners and over 65 professional staff.[7]
Antin sponsors a research chair in private equity and infrastructure at HEC Paris, which in 2019 was held by Denis Gromb, Professor, Finance Department.[8]

In September 2014 it was announced that the Israeli conglomerate Delek Group was selling UK freeway services company Roadchef to Antin for £153 million.[9]
Between 2014 and 2015, Antin acquired a 99% stake in Central Area Transmission System, a natural gas transportation and processing system, from BG Group.[10]
In July 2018, Antin announced that it was seeking to raise €5 billion for its fourth fund, having raised €3.6 billion for its third in 2016.[2][11] In April 2019, more than €2.5 billion had been committed.[12]

In late 2019, Antin acquired the U.S. district energy assets of Veolia to establish Vicinity Energy.[16]
In late 2020, Antin was reported as acquiring Babilou, a French nursery operator,[17] and Hippocrates Holding, an Italian pharmacy network.[18] In 2021, it acquired Pulsant, a provider of datacenter services.[19]
