Investment criteria
As an entrepreneurial provider of private equity capital, Odewald KMU generally acquires majority interests in market-leading companies as part of succession solutions (frequently first-generation companies), growth financing facilities, and the spinning-off of corporate divisions from large companies. Minority interests are also possible in individual cases. We invest on a cross-sector basis, but with a focus on companies from the “German engineering technology”, intelligent services and healthcare sectors.
We pursue a partnership-based approach to our investments together with former majority shareholders (company founders), and we offer entrepreneurially-oriented managers attractive conditions to realise shareholdings in their companies.
With EUR 200 million equity capital in our current fund Odewald KMU II, we continue the successful Odewald KMU strategy and focus on equity investments between EUR 5 million and EUR 30 million per transaction in profitable, strong growing companies with sales of up to EUR 100 million in the German-speaking Europe.
