Flywheel Equity Partners

Permanent capital to build on your family legacy for decades.

Flywheel Equity Partners acquires established manufacturing and industrial services businesses in Saudi Arabia and holds them indefinitely.

What Flywheel is

Flywheel Equity Partners (FWE) is an owner-operated permanent capital acquisition vehicle. It acquires one established business and is managed by the Principal. There is no holding period, and FWE intends to reinvest its cash flows indefinitely. This is consistent with the principles of the great compounders such as Berkshire Hathaway and Constellation Software, which built their value by owning good businesses for decades rather than by reselling them on a timetable.

Industrials: the backbone of an advanced economy

Manufacturing, technical distribution and industrial services are what an advanced economy is built on. In the Kingdom, much of that capability currently sits inside founder-owned or family-owned companies now looking to exit or manage succession.

FWE exists to keep those companies operating under long-term ownership that seeks to develop them and to build the wider industrial ecosystem.
