In light of our responsibilities towards the families we represent, we have a strong preference for obtaining a controlling share of a company. A majority position enables us to actively support and guide the future development of our portfolio companies, as well as to act timely in a potential crisis situation. We do, however, consider minority investments, but only in specific situations and when supported by adequate rights.

Our target companies ideally meet the following investment criteria:

• Strong position in a niche market;


• Strong existing management team, or foreseeable possibility of appointing a strong management team (e.g. in context of succession), and an experienced employee base with a low turnover;


• Sustainable or quickly achievable earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of at least 1,0 million Euro per year.

Wieland Capital is convinced that attractive niche markets exist in many sectors and considers investment opportunities across all industries with a focus on the DACH region. We are especially interested in companies with a serial production, backed by sufficient know-how.
