"Buy less, choose well, make it last"

Direct Investments (active majorities)

Droege Group has an investment platform that carries out equity-financed direct investments in “special opportunities” with a focus on medium-sized companies and spin-offs as a majority shareholding. With its family-equity model Droege Group is not exit-oriented but pursues a long-term investment strategy, structured into a diversified industrial holding. Added to this it is entrepreneurial approach which combines the influx of fresh capital with management resources with expertise and "do-how".

Investment focus

As an active investor with a long term investment horizon Droege Group looks for national and international medium-sized companies as well as for carve-outs and spin-offs:

•     A need for restructuring, underperformers and turnarounds
•     The generation of synergies for existing Droege Group platform-investments
•     Growth potential in cases of operational support
•     A sales volume of between 30 m€ and 1 b€
•     EBITDA margin between negative and +10%
•     Majority shareholding (minority shareholding for existing shareholders (Owner-Buy-Out) possible)
