SEVEST (www.sevest.de) is a Munich-based private investment firm and affiliated with Serafin (www.serafin-gruppe.de), an investor/industrial holding with a strong track record in investing own equity in an evergreen structure in European-based SMEs which benefit from an active ownership approach. SEVEST expands the successful “Serafin Model” to replicate the successful track record in the new LBO structure with larger deals and 3rd party investor participation. SEVEST intends to launch a € 250m buy-out fund which targets market-leading companies and "hidden champions" in the areas of industrial technology, adjacent business services, and related software sectors, primarily in DACH. SEVEST has access to an experienced operations team which usually only large funds or turnaround investors have, and the tax/legal structure allows for a fully transparent active ownership approach. Access to holding resources such as HR, Legal, or Financing ensures high efficiency. A best-in-class data-driven/proactive deal origination approach on top of the existing deal flow will ensure a proprietary deal base. E-Mail [email protected]
