Hanse Industriekapital works as an active investment partner for companies which are confronted with upheaval and extraordinary situations and faced with decisions regarding

  • Spin-offs/demergers
  • Company succession plans
  • Plans to sell companies for diverse reasons, e.g. changes in strategy, downturns, looming bankruptcies, or high debt.

In this regard, Hanse Industriekapital, as an industrial holding company, concentrates on the acquisition and active restructuring of distressed as well as also high-earning medium-sized European companies which fulfil the following criteria:

  • Industrial production or services with minimum revenues of € 10 million
  • olid market position with a good reputation and a growing customer base
    Upheavals/spin-offs due to a strategic reorientation or a looming generational management change or a downturn as the result of management’s mistakes or other factors.

As a rule, we take on the entrepreneurial responsibility and assume the majority stake of the company. Through practical, active investment management, we endeavor on our own to redevelop our investments so that they once again become companies which are competitive and high-earning with long-term prospects.

Our experience in company restructuring and reorganization enables us to also work in industries with a difficult environment.

While working in a targeted manner, we conduct a thorough evaluation in order to search for untapped potential which our team then works to promptly implement before undertaking a detailed set of measures with personal responsibilities. If suitable, in order to increase motivation, the management will also participate in the financial results in order to awaken entrepreneurial potential, so to speak.

After the segregation of peripheral activities, the existing shareholder can once again with certainty concentrate on his own core business because, in Hanse Industriekapital, he has found a partner which, as a long-term investor, has clearly differentiated itself from the investment institutions looking only for fast results and which also works in industries which are otherwise shunned and often cyclical.
