Our Strategy

Virthos combines the flexibility and entrepreneurial spirit of family ownership with professional investment experience in the “Mittelstand”.  This combination as well as our strong regional focus and sector orientation make us a competent partner for owner-managers and management teams and sets us apart from our competitors.  

We typically invest between €10m and €50m of equity in companies with the following criteria:

• Sales between €10m and €100m and attractive cash flows

• Clear and differentiated value proposition for customers

• Defensible niche market position and technological leadership with “intelligent” products

• Value creation opportunities through strategic and operational initiatives to capture unrealised growth potential

• Ability to partner with a highly motivated management with a desire to become co-owners of their business

• Opportunity to acquire a majority or controlling shareholding position

• Entrepreneur or family succession
