Prevent Group is a privately held investment and industrial group operating globally. Founded in manufacturing, we now deploy flexible capital across sectors including healthcare, finance, sustainability, and food. Family-owned and future-focused, we combine operational know-how with strategic investment to create lasting value.
As a family-owned group, our values are at the heart of how we operate. We believe in responsible stewardship, integrity, and partnership. These values inform how we treat our team, our portfolio companies, and our co-investors. Whether owning a manufacturing firm or backing a fund, we stay grounded in shared trust and strategic alignment.
Prevent Group’s roots lie in industrial craftsmanship. From producing protective garments and auto parts in the early 1990s to becoming a global group with direct investments and operating companies, our journey reflects resilience, adaptability, and a long-term vision. What started in a Bosnian workshop has evolved into a multi-sector platform, with each decade expanding our reach, capability, and impact.
From our headquarters in Europe to portfolio companies spanning 12 countries, Prevent Group operates on a global scale. We invest where we see potential and act locally to empower teams, strengthen operations, and unlock regional value. Our footprint spans developed and emerging markets — across manufacturing hubs, tech ecosystems, and frontier investment landscapes.
