Search spectrum

We are particularly interested in family businesses that share our values and corporate culture. We have therefore divided our search spectrum into four clusters.

INDUSTRY

  •  Machinery and equipment engineering firms, ideally with a good share of wear and tear and service / service business,
  • Industrial consumer goods with low cyclicality
  • Automation & Robotics
  • Electronics industry (to complement STOLL Electronic; www.stollelectronic.de)

FUTURE

Business models and technologies that focus on the megatrends such as neo-ecology, silver society, connectivity, new work and knowledge culture. 

Investments in B2C business models also possible.

TEXTILE

Technologies, processes and business models that complement our existing business units.

We are particularly interested in business models based on the end-of-use of textiles (ReWear, ReUse and ReCycle).

START-UP

  • Investments in venture capital funds
  • Companies that are already beyond the start-up phase

In addition to capital, other resources are required for the targeted growth
