Active investment management

We don’t just set up action plans, we implement them too.

BAVARIA Industries Group AG takes over companies with clear potential for improvement and increases revenues through active investment management. Even before a transaction is concluded a best practice team devises a specific action plan that is subsequently implemented together with the management. The management shares in the success; this strengthens the role of the managers as “entrepreneurs”. In this process, the best practice team supports the management on the ground and helps to ensure the measures are implemented quickly.

Experience

Our performance record speaks for itself.

Even companies that have made losses for many years have been returned to profit within a short period of time. For the previous owners, the sale means a divestment from unattractive peripheral activities along with the benefit of now being able to concentrate more heavily on their actual core business again.

The jobs of the workforce are safeguarded. The business has found a long-term investor in BAVARIA Industries Group AG. BAVARIA also invests successfully in sectors that financial investors who rely on a rapid exit tend to avoid, such as plant construction or cyclical industries.

Lean Management

Continuous process improvements to reduce waste.

We remove any kind of waste by continuously improving all processes using our BAVARIA operating system. We keep our promises to our customers and all our contractual partners. Errors are avoided where possible and are remedied without difficulty if they do arise contrary to expectations.

Search Criteria

Products and companies with genuine potential.

We acquire companies with discernible potential for improvement and a strong market position. The company should have a good reputation in the market and a solid customer base. Its head office should be in Europe. It makes no difference here whether the company comes from the manufacturing/processing, industrial services or consumer sector. Its turnover should ideally be in excess of EUR 50 million.

Situations

Peripheral activity or company succession.

Our company philosophy is based on the fundamental idea of taking over those peripheral activities that offer greater development potential if run independently. Or we offer entrepreneurs the opportunity to distribute their assets more widely and take steps towards succession. We take over companies that are at least at break-even point. In some cases, however, selling to BAVARIA is the only alternative to closing a site.
