Mir Capital has acquired from Imi Investimenti a minority stake in Lima Corporate Group, a Friulian company active in the production and distribution of orthopedic prostheses. The operation was decided as part of the partnership between the Russian Gazprombank and Intesa Sanpaolo, which together control the private equity fund.
Mir Capital thus joins the main shareholder of Lima Corporate Group, Ardian (formerly Axa Private Equity), as well as IMI Investimenti. To date, Lima's global business includes over 9 product codes sold directly to customers in Italy and through 15 international subsidiaries.

The fund is able to invest up to 300 million euros and is mainly focused on investments in medium-sized private companies , but with significant growth potential, operating in the markets of Russia and Italy.
