Argos, an independent European private equity group with offices across France, Italy, the Benelux and DACH regions, has promoted Arne Louwagie to Senior Director within its Benelux investment team.
Louwagie joined Argos in 2016 and has since played an important role in the firm’s investment activities.
He is currently involved with several portfolio companies, including Schenk Tanktransport, Gantrex and Lineas, where he serves as a board member and supports value creation and refinancing initiatives.
