Grenadier Holdings is a privately held investment company.
We acquire, invest in, and build excellent companies. We support and partner with our leadership teams to achieve sustainable growth and make a positive impact.
Grenadier Holdings was formed through the evolution of the former Paragon Group into a series of investment holdings. Historically, Paragon Group took direct operational responsibility for the running of our companies. As these companies have evolved and grown to their current scale, our focus has also shifted – Grenadier Holdings now holds significant shareholdings in our operating companies and our focus is now to manage and foster the evolution and growth of these investments.
Paragon Group continues next stage in its evolution and repositions to become Grenadier Holdings
Grenadier Holdings investments align with our 140-year heritage in delivering critical business services including customer communications, contactless smart technologies, and print & packaging related services. This alignment ensures we add experience and insights to our investments, helping achieve our shared goals.
