The approach
Acquire · Transform · Scale
Value is created in the transformation, not only at entry. We work alongside management across the whole holding period.
Acquire
Control positions in sound industrial companies, found through the team's own network of entrepreneurs, away from auctions and at disciplined valuations.
Majority control · €5–30M revenueTransform
A plan agreed with management before closing: stronger finance and reporting, lean and automation, and the certifications customers ask for.
Operational value creationScale
Organic growth, bolt-on acquisitions and expansion into Spain and the rest of the EU, building a company with institutional-grade governance and demonstrated value for its next shareholder.
4–6 year holding periodHow we work
Alongside management
- The plan starts before closing, agreed with management.
- Reliable numbers first, then improvement.
- A few priorities, each with an owner and a date.
