Herzog & Adelmann Group | Strategic business

Strategic direction.

We acquire companies with significant strategic and operational development potential. These include growing companies with a good market position that have the potential to benefit from our value creation approach.

Our strategy is aimed at the long-term and sustainable development of companies in which we invest with operational support from our teams. In doing so, Herzog & Adelmann pursues the goal of a conglomerate corporate diversification.

Holistic value enhancement.

When we decide to acquire a company, we are convinced of both its business model and development potential. Herzog & Adelmann does not focus on a specific industry, but decides according to the situation.

We work systematically to optimally position and improve acquired companies through our key value levers: strategy, management, sales, profitability, innovation, processes and recruiting. We evaluate all strategic fields of action, work out specifically where acquisitions and investments make sense, which business areas can be further developed and how we can equip the companies for future challenges.

Acquisition criteria.

Herzog & Adelmann focuses on start-ups and small companies from German-speaking countries, irrespective of the industry. Target companies should demonstrate growing and recurring revenues, positive cash flows, proprietary products or services and a good market position in a healthy underlying market.

Herzog & Adelmann's investment principles have been developed on the basis of strict guidelines. They take into account environmental, health, safety, social and regulatory issues in connection with the target companies; and do so both in the decision-making phase for a transaction and in the subsidiary phase.

Active value creation forms the foundation for our acquisitions. The approach goes beyond the mere acquisition: Herzog & Adelmann acts as an active partner to the management and supports them in their further business development.

Herzog & Adelmann can connect with active operational experts with specific and comprehensive expertise in strategic development, marketing & sales, operational performance improvement, financial analysis and digitalization. In addition, Herzog & Adelmann supports the companies with expertise to strengthen their market position, generate growth and leverage synergies.
