It fully owns and manages over 40 portfolio companies across three key segments: Engineering, which supports manufacturing with machinery, automation, robotics, sensor technology, and measuring/control engineering; Materials Solutions, focusing on innovative materials like metals, composites, engineering plastics, textiles, medical products, and specialized manufacturing; and Infrastructure, encompassing construction, building technology, telecommunications, and air-conditioning solutions. These companies operate in Germany, the US, Switzerland, the Nordics, and beyond, with activities spanning energy transition, digitalization, and sustainability megatrends.
