Tiger Infrastructure Partners announced a transformational growth capital investment in Orbis Protect, a UK-based provider of technology-enabled security infrastructure solutions for critical assets and property.
Orbis Protect operates a large fleet of approximately 2,500 CCTV towers and more than 4,000 cameras and alarms, alongside perimeter fencing, barriers, and other physical protection assets. These systems are rapidly deployable to customer sites and supported by internally developed monitoring and control technology, enabling the company to deliver integrated, contract-based security solutions with recurring revenue.
The company serves around 2,400 customers across more than 80,000 sites annually, including commercial and residential property owners, utilities, transport operators, infrastructure developers, and construction firms. Its services are often essential for regulatory compliance, insurance coverage, and operational continuity, contributing to high customer retention.
Tiger Infrastructure will provide growth capital to support Orbis Protect’s expansion in the UK and internationally, including through mergers and acquisitions. The investment will also fund continued development of proprietary and AI-driven technology solutions. Orbis Protect’s management team will retain a significant equity stake and continue leading the business.
The transaction marks an exit for European growth equity investor Synova, which has supported the company since 2021. During that period, Orbis Protect expanded into Europe, entered new market segments, and enhanced its AI-enabled technology platform.
Completion of the transaction remains subject to customary regulatory approvals.
