Focus on Companies with operational Improvement Potential
CERTINA specializes in the acquisition and repositioning of companies in special situations. The focus is primarily on underperforming companies or parts of companies, whose disposal represents a strategic added value for the seller as well as the company.
Situation of target companies:
Carve-outs
Non Core Assets
Spin-offs
Company transformations
Restructuring
Special situations
Unresolved succession situations
Insolvency proceedings
Our expertise is particularly evident in the turnaround of companies with sales of between € 30 million and € 250 million.
Long-term Investment Horizon
We hold our companies on a long-term basis and develop them sustainably, which is differentiating us from exit-oriented financial investors. We pursue a classic Buy-and-Build / Buy-and-Hold strategy. Some of our companies, such as PRUSS and HORN, have been part of the CERTINA Group for more than 20 years.
Pan-European and extensive Industry Expertise
CERTINA has a distinct investment focus and invests on a pan-European basis in companies with value recovery potential. With more than 65 transactions in various industries, we have many years of experience in the field of corporate restructuring, ensuring a sound assessment of risk factors in various industries.
