Our Industries
CARP are active investors who strive to add value in the businesses that they invest in with the wealth of networks, knowledge, and experience that is possessed by the leadership. CARP has a focus on the energy, industrial, property and infrastructure industries. However, CARP remains committed to investing in assets that are aligned to their core values and mission even if such assets are not in the afore mentioned industries. Through their ability to identify and generate value in Africa’s potential, CARP believes that their activity in their relative industries render them a strategic competitor in South African investments.
Energy
CARP has been investing South Africa’s energy sector since 2004 in its maiden deal with Aberdare Cables and more recently in three, round one, solar photovoltaic independent power producers, namely: Soutpan Solar Power; Aries Solar Power; and Konkoonsies Solar Power. We continue to look for opportunities to invest in the energy sector in and beyond the South African borders.
Infrastructure
CARPʼs interest in broader infrastructure includes (but is not limited to) cell towers; toll roads; ports and harbours. We are focused on actively growing this part of our portfolio to add onto the digital infrastructure investment in CBI Telecom Cables.
Property
To complement our existing residential and insidious retail exposure, were looking to build a portfolio of industrial properties that are well located with stable long-term tenants.
Industrial
Were always in the market to build on our Grinding Media South Africa industrial exposure in South Africa and globally. While this sector has been getting smaller over time, the businesses that remain tend to be of high quality.
