Long Term Success Through Empowerment
By finding partners aligned with our values and empowering them with autonomy, stability, and long-term capital, we believe we can achieve lasting success — and have fun along the way.
Labora manages the Mackie Family's business and philanthropic investments, focusing on opportunities that create enduring value. We take a thoughtful, sustainable approach, because when we invest, we believe in longevity and going all in.
Operating Companies
From a small shop in Coventry in 1951 to a global leader in electrical materials distribution, our operating companies have grown organically across 12 countries since their inception. In 2021, the Mackie Family expanded into solar by acquiring two major distributors, aiming to become the top global provider of solar products and solutions.
Investments
Labora Capital Partners aims to build a legacy that reflects our lifelong commitment to learn from, invest in, and partner with those who share our passion for growth and our guiding life principles. Our permanent capital base allows us to patiently and prudently invest across asset classes globally.

Charitable Foundation
A Mackie Family motto carried through generations introduced a simple approach to finances: “Save a little, spend a little, give a little away.” Through our family foundations, we're all about giving what we can to help people reach their full potential and thrive. We focus on poverty alleviation, children's health, mental health, and building strong communities. We also support the visual arts, making creativity and shared knowledge more accessible to everyone.
