Investcorp raises a €240m single-asset continuation fund to support HWG Sababa in the next phase of growth
The sale, in which ITP V sold the entirety of its interest in the Company, marks the first exit by ITP V, an oversubscribed $570M fund managed by Investcorp and closed in 2024.
The Fund, which closed in June 2025, is managed by Investcorp and is anchored by commitments from funds advised by Hayfin Capital Management ('Hayfin') and Coller Capital ('Coller'). The Fund includes participation from certain investors in ITP V, from Investcorp Technology Partners ('ITP') employees and from new investors, including Hayfin and Coller, among others. Members of the Company management team will continue to hold a significant stake in the Company, alongside the Fund.
The transaction provided existing investors in ITP V with the opportunity to realize strong returns on their investment in the Company and gives the Fund and its investors the opportunity to back a high-performing asset with significant potential for further value creation.
Having supported the Company since ITP V's investment in 2022, Investcorp, alongside the Fund, will continue to support and actively contribute to the Company in its next phase of growth, which includes further development of existing solutions, with a strong focus on Operational Technology, investment in technology & innovation and internationalization of the firm primarily in Europe and the Middle East, organically and through acquisitions.
Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Verona, Italy, the Company is a leading independent provider of end-to-end cybersecurity solutions in Southern Europe, with strong expertise in security operations centre solutions for IT, IoT and OT environments. The Company serves mid-sized enterprises across sectors, including critical infrastructure, energy, finance, manufacturing and more. Since acquiring the business in 2022, ITP V collaborated with the Company's management team to drive growth organically and through acquisitions, growing revenue sixfold and completing four add-on acquisitions, including the acquisition of Sababa Security S.p.A. in 2023.
Gilbert Kamieniecky, Head of Investcorp's European Private Equity business, said: 'The creation of a dedicated continuation fund for HWG Sababa highlights the Company's strong growth and our successful partnership with Enrico, Alessio, and the team. The strong demand for the fund reflects HWG Sababa's quality, and we're pleased to partner with Hayfin and Coller Capital to support its continued growth.'
Yusef al Yusef, Global Head of Distribution at Investcorp, said: 'We are proud of the strong partnership we have built with Enrico and Alessio, confirmed by HWG Sababa's positioning as a leading cybersecurity solution provider in Southern Europe. We're excited to remain involved through the management of this continuation fund and to collaborate with Hayfin and Coller Capital as we support the next stage of the company's development.'
Enrico Orlandi, Chairman of HWG Sababa added: 'We are very proud of the journey we've taken alongside ITP, whose support has been instrumental in helping us achieve our objectives. We believe this continuation fund is the right solution to fuel HWG Sababa's next phase of growth.'
Alessio Aceti, CEO of HWG Sababa, added: 'This milestone reflects the shared commitment and hard work of our management team and the entire company, of whom we are immensely proud. We remain determined to strengthen our leadership in IT cybersecurity, OT, and SOC services—both in Italy and internationally.'

Trump sets 50-day deadline for Ukraine deal, threatens 100% tariffs on Russia
ALBAWABA- U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a sharp ultimatum to Russian President Vladimir Putin, warning that Russia will face crippling 100% tariffs, referred to as 'secondary tariffs', within 50 days if no agreement is reached to end the war in Ukraine. Also Read Trump promises big Russia reveal—Kremlin watches closely Speaking from the White House during a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Trump expressed frustration over what he called a missed opportunity to end the conflict. 'We're very disappointed with them. I thought we'd have a deal months ago,' Trump said. 'If there's no deal in 50 days, we're going to impose very severe tariffs—100% secondary tariffs.' The new deadline marks an escalation in Trump's pressure campaign on Moscow. While he had previously floated the idea of secondary tariffs on Russian oil and exports, this is the first time he has attached a specific timetable to the threat. LIVE: President Trump Participates in the White House Faith Office Luncheonhttps:// — Commentary Donald J. Trump Posts From Truth Social (@TrumpDailyPosts) July 14, 2025 Secondary tariffs target not just Russia directly, but also countries and companies that continue to trade with it, particularly in energy. Analysts say such tariffs could hit nations like China, India, Brazil, and Turkiye, all of which remain major consumers of Russian fossil fuels. Trump's remarks also signal a shift in tone on Ukraine. He announced that the U.S. will deliver billions of dollars' worth of military equipment to NATO allies, purchased by European partners, who will then transfer the arms to Ukrainian forces. The move, combined with the tariff warning, underscores the president's growing impatience with Putin and signals a firmer stance on the conflict. The Trump administration is also reportedly considering supplying Ukraine with advanced U.S.-made JASSM cruise missiles to enhance their aging fleet of F-16 fighter jets. These long-range, radar-evading missiles could give Ukraine deeper strike capabilities inside Russian territory. While Trump has previously threatened secondary tariffs on countries importing oil from Venezuela and Iran, Monday's warning marks the most direct economic threat yet aimed at ending the war in Ukraine. Whether the pressure will bring Russia to the negotiating table remains uncertain, but the clock is now ticking toward a September deadline.
