In March 2026, we closed the acquisition of a majority stake in Fortidia — a leading global platform providing shipping, fulfilment, and marketing services — marking the first investment in BC Partners Fund XII.
Fortidia is a great demonstration of BC Partners’ sourcing engine in action. Our long-standing reputation for working successfully alongside entrepreneurs and families, our deep roots and credentials in Italy, and our track record of accelerating growth and transforming route-based service platforms — including GFL, GardaWorld, and GES — combined to make us the partner of choice for Fortidia. It is also a clear example of a “defensive growth” business: a resilient business model, a strong franchise network, and a compelling trajectory.
