PROFILE |
 |
Ripplewood Holdings is making waves in the world of private equity investment. The firm manages some $2.7 billion in capital, and invests in automotive retail, food manufacturing, industrial manufacturing, education (including "Weekly Reader" magazine), and technology. Ripplewood entered the chemical industry when it bought Kraton, the polymers business of Shell Chemicals (part of Shell Oil). In an effort to expand operations in Japan, the company bought Shinsei Bank (formerly Long-Term Credit Bank of Japan) and placed a bid for the failed Daiichi Mutual Fire & Marine Insurance. Ripplewood is also launching a Japan-based e-commerce joint venture in industrial materials with Accenture (formerly Andersen Consulting).
