Equity Story  

Access to technology-driven SMEs

GESCO SE gives you access to leading companies in the technology-driven SME sector. Our subsidiaries are characterised by a successful history and are established players in their markets - many of them are even global leaders. As an investor with a long-term focus, we selectively acquire companies from three strategically attractive segments:

• Lifescience & Healthcare Markets
• Manufacturing Refinement & Distribution
• Industrial Assets & Infrastructure Markets

Valuable, healthy substance with low balance sheet risks

The subsidiaries of GESCO SE have a strong equity base, which is supported by regular investments in technology and innovation. The subsidiaries operate independently. At the same time, they are supported in their development by the holding company. Both the management and GESCO pursue a long-term strategy that is geared towards sustainable growth.

Growth opportunities in the (German) SME sector

The large number of unresolved succession issues, particularly in the German SME sector, offers GESCO considerable potential for inorganic growth. Although new companies are being founded every day, succession within the family is becoming increasingly rare. This situation opens up unique acquisition opportunities for GESCO. In addition, we promote internal growth by continuously developing our subsidiaries in close cooperation with the respective management.

Success with our GESCO Business System (GBS)

Based on the principles and methods of the ‘Lean’ philosophy, we have developed a unique yet simple business system that is geared towards the continuous development of our companies. As market leaders in their niches, our subsidiaries should each grow faster than the relevant market and achieve above-average profitability.
