Investment profile

   
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
We could imagine an investment in the following companies:
– Machine tools (possibly trade as well); in the productive area, if possible end products or subsystems should be manufactured.
– Companies with succession problems
– Companies with earnings problems; clear savings potential must be recognizable
– Exclusion criteria:
• Products in mature industries and markets without “added value”
  • Products, for which production is possible cost-effectively worldwide, and transport costs are relatively low
• Products that do not have any brand value (customer does not pay a premium)
• Products serve mass markets and are subject to extremely short life-cycles (e.g. computers)
• For producing companies: Trading power is greater than manufacturing power
• Products that are not competitive in export
• IT, B-to-C, retail, fashion
