Date of Investment:
December, 2007
Deal Value:
$8 million
Status:
fully realized Moya Supervisiones is a pre-eminent construction company in the Dominican Republic which joint ventured with Odebrecht, the largest infrastructure contractor in Latin America. The JV was awarded a contract in late 2008 from the government of the Dominican Republic to build a $360 million toll road.

Portland Private Equity added value by:
- Providing a stable capital source and financial partner to a long-term project
- Working with management to upgrade financial reporting and related processes
