Committed to acquiring and enhancing values

    
 
Argantis is committed to the task of capitalizing on the untapped potentials lying dormant in midsized companies by pooling resources with management in order to bring about lasting value enhancements.
Attainment of this objective is made possible by a unique combination of fund management and entrepreneurial skills.

Our senior executives have many years of accumulated private equity industry experience, experience in established management consultancy companies, and experience as senior management in the industrial sector.

The company invests, without any specific sectoral bias, in small and midsized companies with sales revenues of between €30m and €250m.

Argantis focuses primarily on the acquisition of majority stakes involving transaction volumes from €30m upwards in Germany, Switzerland and Austria.

Value enhancement strategies

Of quite particular interest to private equity investors are companies offering additional value enhancement potentials that can be achieved by management in association with the private equity investor. The key items on the “to do list” when seeking to achieve such value enhancements are as follows:

  • Improve cash management
  • Boost sales revenues through cross-selling potentials
  • Focus on core competencies
  • Sell off non-core assets
  • Optimize the leverage effect (debt reduction potentials)
  • Capitalize on untapped motivational potentials (offering management joint ownership)
  • Improve the product mix
  • Improve the organizational structure
  • Improve the bottom line through rationalization
  • Buy&build strategy (acquire competitors and exploit the economies of scale and/or synergies deriving from this)

We shall be delighted to advise you in person at all times.
