Infinity I-China, the world leader in Chinese international RMB funds,
announced today the creation of six new joint venture (JV) private
equity funds throughout China purposed to support the growth of local
Chinese businesses through the influx of proven technology and know-how.
The new funds are the third step in Infinity’s ten-year plan for the
region, following its 2004 establishment of the first RMB fund in China
and its 2008 cross-board fund. Step four will be announced later this
year. Clal Industries from IDB Group, led by Infinity co-chairman Avi
Fischer, is a strategic and ongoing supporter of these efforts.
“The quality of our deal flow alongside Infinity’s ability to add value
has increased dramatically since our teams have spread out across the
country”
“Since 2003, Infinity has been actively creating mutually beneficial
relationships which combine the ingenuity and expertise of advanced and
proven technology companies with the rapidly growing market in China and
the business acumen of the Chinese people. Infinity chose to partner
with Beijing, Suzhou, Harbin, Shijiazhuang, Changzhou, Ningbo and
Tianjin, mainly because of the progressiveness, open-minded thinking and
quality of leadership in these metropolises. It is the people that are
compelling and on which we place the greatest value. Our ongoing
relationship with Suzhou is a good example. The JV fund in Suzhou marks
the third cooperation between Infinity and the fine leadership of this
beautiful city. We look forward to long-term and exciting relations with
our new friends across the country,” said Infinity I-China managing
partner Mr. Amir Gal-Or.
Under the terms of the various agreements, the funds will range in size
from 200 million RMB to a goal of 500 million RMB.
“The quality of our deal flow alongside Infinity’s ability to add value
has increased dramatically since our teams have spread out across the
country,” added Gal-Or.
