"Creating value by getting actively involved"

• We believe that generating lasting value in enterprises comes from consistent and enduring active involvement.
• We believe in our proactive approach that is based on industrial concepts and implementation plans for strategic change and operational excellence.
• We understand ourselves as entrepreneurial owners with hands-on senior management experience and concentrate on defining and creating the right markets conditions for our engagements.
• We believe in the entrepreneurial freedom that our management teams should have to unfold their full strength, but make ourselves available as sparing partners or network builders when needed.
• We believe in value creation from initiating change in industries and organizations in transactions with sufficient equity and reasonable leverage.
• We believe that a company crisis offers a great opportunity for an equity investment, since there is often no legitimate reason why a special situation for a business cannot be turned around quickly with appropriate managerial and financial support.
• We believe in real partnerships that are created by people with own values and highest integrity. We select our partners — be it acquisition candidates, management teams or corporations — accordingly.
