Strong industrial network

Financial Flexibility

Value creation plans

Each company we are engaged in has a dedicated business team, consisting of our board representatives, investment managers and analysts. The business teams analyze the industries and benchmark the companies’ performance versus their competitors. Based on the analysis, we develop and constantly refine
value creation plans for each company. These plans identify strategic key value drivers that the companies should focus on, in order to maximize long-term value.
