About us
We invest family wealth from experienced business people into medium-sized companies.
The aim is to help companies grow in a sustainable way.
Our role is to support companies in achieving their goals by supplying capital and know-how.
We draw on years of experience with family-run businesses and equity investments.
We act pragmatically, discreetly, transparently and enthusiastically in our mutual endeavours.
Approach
The companies have the ability to differentiate themselves from the competition thanks to their solid positioning. The companies offer clear growth prospects. Due to our independent structure, we are flexible in how we acquire shareholdings, whether they are from retiring partners, from capital increases or from succession strategies. Minority stakes are also an option. The companies typically generate sales of between €5 and €50 million, depending on the business model.
We want to bring our experience to the following fields in particular:
Restructuring and financial recovery processes have as little to do with our focus as start-up funding and pure project financing.
We want to work together with skilled executives and employees, supporting and challenging them. In questions of succession or appointments to leadership positions, we can draw on a significant Network.
We are not bound to holding periods or term restrictions and can therefore invest for the medium to long term and develop companies strategically. Along with organic growth, targeted company acquisitions can also be a way to sustainable growth.
Philosophy
We want to work together respectfully with our partners, whom we can trust and who place a similarly high value on a trust-based approach to their activities. This is because trust is the best foundation for developing an organisation together using smart processes and systems.
Success is important to us. We want to enjoy the road towards success – enjoyment in terms of the work itself, but also with regards to the collaboration with our partners.
We are transparent towards our partners about our actions – and expect this transparency to be mutual. Clarity in our goals and certainty in our actions are in our view a fundamental basis of a successful collaboration.
We integrate environmental and social principles and a corresponding management philosophy into our actions and place value on developing our companies in a sustainable manner.
