NPM is part of SHV
NPM was founded in 1948 to provide capital to the Dutch business community during the post-war reconstruction and has grown into one of the leading Dutch investment firms. NPM was listed on the stock exchange before becoming part of SHV in 2000. SHV is one of the largest Dutch family-owned companies, with a strong entrepreneurial heritage and a broad portfolio including SHV Energy, Mammoet, Nutreco, Kiwa and ONE-Dyas, operating in more than 75 countries worldwide. With more than 25 investment professionals located across Amsterdam, Gent, and Munich, NPM operates as SHV’s independent investment vehicle, while benefitting from SHV’s long-term committed capital and a flexible investment horizon.
Investment approach
At the heart of NPM Capital’s strategy is its thematic investment approach, focusing on themes that shape the world of tomorrow: Digital & Technology, Sustainable Future, Healthy Life & Learning, and Feeding the World. Today, national security has become an increasingly important topic. The Netherlands’ structural increase in defense spending requires accelerated scaling across the supply chain, from start-ups to established companies. Given the pace of growth and sector complexity, NPM Capital can be a long-term committed and reliable partner for companies seeking to grow and scale in such strategically important sectors.
