GESCO SE

GESCO SE is a German mid-sized industrial group driven by technology. Founded in 1989 by a group of private investors, GESCO's mission was to consolidate successful and strategically interesting market and technology leaders from the mid-sized companies in a portfolio and participate in investment opportunities arising from unresolved succession issues in the mid-sized sector. The company's strategy proved to be permanently profitable, leading to its IPO in March 1998.

Under the umbrella of GESCO group, all subsidiaries operate independently and are actively supported by the parent company through coaching, consulting, and controlling. The company focuses on acquiring economically sound industrial mid-sized companies with long-term objectives, meaning without exit intentions, with the aim of permanently increasing their value. Specialized in succession issues, GESCO always acquires a majority stake and often 100 percent ownership.

GESCO's target acquisitions are well-positioned mid-sized industrial companies with an annual turnover ranging from €20 to €100 million. The group's strategy is centered around continuously enhancing the value of individual companies and the overall group in the long run.
