Mexican private equity firm PC Capital and Mexican private credit fund Altum Capital invested in Medios Cattri, a Mexico-based digital advertising company. The amount of the transaction was undisclosed. 

(Press Release) Mexico City, Mexico, December 7, 2020. On Thursday, October 29th, PC Capital Development Fund II, L.P. completed an investment in Medios Cattri S.A. de C.V. (“Cattri”), one of the leading digital advertising companies in Mexico, while simultaneously acquiring a majority participation in the New York based AdSpace Networks, Inc.

The deal was also financed with the support of Altum Capital (“Altum”), a Mexico City-based private credit fund.

The investment has consolidated two of the largest digital out of home advertising companies from United States and Mexico, creating a network of over 5,700 screens in different strategic locations throughout the two countries, and an advertising ecosystem with a monthly reach of over 108 million people; while at the same time positions Cattri to gain entry into the U.S. market through Lightbox’s digital video dominance shopping and lifestyle centers across the country.
