M & A
Customised solutions and a long-term perspective make GESCO a home for successful SMEs.
Customised solutions for the acquisition of businesses
For more than 30 years, GESCO has been the industry expert for succession planning in the SME sector. We combine sound expertise with a long-term investment strategy to create customised solutions - whether for entrepreneurs who are looking for a successor for reasons of age or as a partner to jointly shape future growth steps. The question of succession is of central importance for many SMEs - GESCO has the answers.
GESCO - investment company and partner
Successful companies find a permanent home in the GESCO Group. In this way, we promote long-term development and clearly distinguish ourselves from private equity companies, which generally aim for a quick exit.
Transparency through stock exchange listing
Our financial reports prove that we can offer you a high degree of transaction security as an economically sound company. Find out more about our strategies and acquisition criteria or simply contact us. At GESCO, we believe in an uncomplicated, decisive and thorough approach - typical of a medium-sized company.
The GESCO model: everyone benefits
Our GESCO model is a recipe for success: everyone involved wins. The former owner who wants to organise his succession, the new managing director who takes the plunge into entrepreneurship, and GESCO SE, which participates in the long-term success of its subsidiaries as the majority shareholder. Convince yourself of our sustainable win-win approach.
Acquisition criteria of GESCO SE
Our business model and strategies are geared towards sustainable success. We have therefore developed clear criteria according to which we select potential takeover candidates.
