Industry & Commerce

A thriving M&A market has developed in the industrial and commercial sectors in recent years. Various investors recognize the opportunities in this field and are making targeted investments in SMEs in order to build and strengthen successful groups of companies.

Industry-related services are often regionally focused and provide a wide range of support functions that are central to the smooth functioning of industrial companies. These service companies include logistics, maintenance, technical consulting and more. They are valuable partners for industrial companies as they help to increase operational efficiency and optimize the supply chain.

The industrial companies, which act as product manufacturers, often have international ambitions. They are expanding their reach through strategic acquisitions to enter new markets and increase their production capacities. In both sectors – industry-related services and industrial companies – we have extensive experience in forging the right partnerships. This experience is critical to identifying synergies and ensuring smooth integration.

A growing focus in the industry is on CO2 emissions and sustainability, in addition to digitalization. Industrial companies are responding to increasing demands to reduce energy consumption and use renewable energy.

Sustainability has become a key consideration for investors entering the industrial and commercial sectors. They are looking for ways to support companies that are developing innovative solutions to meet these challenges.

This dynamic forms a seamless transition to commercial enterprises. Here, we accompany different concepts in the field of infrastructure, energy concepts and technical building equipment (TGA). Craft shaped companies in this sector are experiencing high demand for their expertise. At the same time, technological changes bring growth opportunities, but also challenges. The need to achieve critical size scales has led to the development of digitization solutions, including 3D planning and new electrotechnical product connections. Measurement and control technologies also play an important role, especially in the field of energy flow control, heat pumps, photovoltaics and storage technology. These developments require increased collaboration between traditional trades.

The importance of sustainable environmental technology, such as pollutant remediation and disposal and water hygiene, as a market in its own right is of immense relevance in today’s world. Companies are increasingly turning to innovative technologies and solutions to address environmental challenges while achieving economic success. In view of increasing environmental awareness and legal regulations, more and more companies are recognizing the added value of a sustainable orientation. In this context, the strategy of combining succession in old age with company development in a medium-sized group is becoming increasingly important. This leverages synergies to pool proven expertise and resources and implement innovative technologies while ensuring the preservation of the company’s heritage.

In parallel, the electronics manufacturing and EMS (electronic manufacturing services) market is also developing rapidly. Advances in electronics, automation and digitalization have led to a dynamic environment in which new opportunities are emerging for investors and medium-sized companies. By introducing innovative manufacturing processes, intelligent technologies and agile business models, investors and medium-sized companies can jointly establish new market leaders. This market sector impressively demonstrates how fruitful cooperation between investors and medium-sized companies can lead to accelerated technological development and the creation of new growth opportunities. The successful combination of capital and expertise makes it possible to shape pioneering companies and harness the innovative power of the electronics industry.

For many years, we have been supporting medium-sized groups of companies that pursue the goal of creating cross-company networks. These networks preserve medium-sized structures, strengthen regional strengths and ensure future viability for all involved. Our expertise and experience are key components in developing sustainable and successful business alliances.
