Arlo Partners, a strategic investment firm, has announced the successful completion of its investment in Gripps, a global leader in dropped object prevention solutions. The partnership, which was formed to accelerate Gripps’ expansion into the U.S. market, culminated in a successful exit through a sale back to Gripps Global in Australia.

During the course of the investment, Arlo Partners played a pivotal role in scaling Gripps’ operations across North America. Leveraging Arlo’s market expertise and growth strategies, Gripps rapidly built its U.S. presence, established key distribution channels, and enhanced brand recognition in critical industries such as construction, energy, and utilities.

We partnered with Gripps at a pivotal time in their international growth journey, our shared vision for workplace safety and our complementary capabilities allowed us to make a meaningful impact in a short period of time. We’re pleased with the progress made in the US market and confident in Gripps’ continued success.

Gripps Global has now reacquired the U.S. entity, bringing it fully under the Australian-based parent company. This strategic move positions Gripps to further streamline global operations and deepen its commitment to the North American market under a unified brand.

The successful exit marks another milestone for Arlo Partners in identifying and supporting high-potential growth companies through targeted, hands-on investment strategies.
