Corporate carve-outs have been central to Platinum's strategy for nearly 30 years, and this summer was no exception.   In July, Platinum and Nestlé announced plans to create PERANEL, a $5.6 billion beverage joint venture for Nestlé Waters & Premium Beverages. Spanning more than 30 brands with products sold in 120 countries, PERANEL includes iconic natural mineral water brands such as S.Pellegrino, Perrier and Acqua Panna.   Soon after, The Wall Street Journal examined the evolution of the carve-out market and the trends shaping activity across the sector, including the role that experience, execution and alignment between buyers and sellers can play in creating long-term value. In addition to PERANEL, the story highlighted Platinum's work with Rehlko, where we are pursuing a data center-focused growth strategy similar to one we employed years earlier with Vertiv, a carveout from Emerson.
