Orangefield Group

In the world of corporate services, scale is the name of the game. Our story begins in the Netherlands in 1974 with the founding of Orangefield Group. The company established itself as a key behind-the-scenes player, providing essential administrative, fund, and corporate services. It helped businesses, from medium-sized enterprises to large multinationals, navigate the complexities of expansion, compliance, and management in new markets. The company was once part of the Dutch banking giant ING Group before being divested with the help of private equity firm Foreman Capital. Under new ownership, Orangefield embarked on a significant growth trajectory, expanding its footprint from six to fourteen countries. This playbook focused on both organic growth and strategic acquisitions across Europe and Asia. The pivotal chapter for Orangefield began in October 2015. In a strategic move to consolidate the fragmented corporate services industry, Baring Private Equity Asia acquired a majority stake in not only Orangefield but also its direct competitor, Vistra Group. The thesis was clear: merge these two complementary forces to create a global powerhouse. By September 2016, the integration was complete. The Orangefield name was retired, and the entire organization, including its Amsterdam headquarters, was rebranded as Vistra. This merger created one of the world's top three corporate services providers, a unified entity with a vastly expanded global reach, ready to serve an even larger international client base.
