Industry & production
Technically oriented companies with operational depth, an existing customer base and real value creation along clear processes.
Sector focus
Investment Sectors
KBM is open across sectors with a clear focus on SMEs. Of particular interest are companies whose value creation is understandable, customer-relevant and operationally manageable.
Technical services
High-performing service businesses with know-how, reliable customer relationships and recurring demand.
Service models with substance
Established business models with understandable earnings logic, clear responsibilities and development potential.
Shared characteristics of attractive target companies
- stable or stabilisable earnings position
- understandable performance and clear customer benefit
- well-established operational structures with development potential
- realistic development opportunities after the ownership transfer
- entrepreneurially sound succession or transition situation
More important than a narrow sector scheme
What matters is quality, manageability, continuity and the prospect of developing a company soundly over the long term. KBM therefore remains open to suitable special situations if the business model, transition context and feasibility are convincing.
Synergies within the group
The value of an investment can lie not only in capital and succession, but also in a better organisational and commercial setup. For each investment, KBM therefore assesses which synergies are sensible and economically usable in practice.
Central where it helps
Selected functions can be bundled if this measurably increases efficiency, transparency or quality.
Decentral where it makes sense
Market-facing, technical or operational capabilities remain within the company where this is the better solution.
Pragmatic instead of overloaded
No unnecessary holding structures, only those services that concretely strengthen the investment.
