OUR AREAS OF FOCUS
PRIVATE EQUITY
We form joint ventures with our partners to co-invest in companies and capital assets across the industries in which we specialise, namely industrial machinery, manufacturing, supply chain and logistics, financial services, agriculture and shipping.
FINANCING OF WORKING CAPITAL
We work predominantly with short-term (1 year or less), secured and unsecured, credit-adjusted fixed-rate loans to finance the liquidity needs of businesses.
DEVELOPMENT AND EXPANSION
We help companies invest into the development and expansion of their business, whether via new solutions and markets or via upgrading of existing services and facilities.
NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND EQUIPMENT
We finance new technology acquisition, including business digitalisation, and provide leasing solutions for complex state-of-the-art machinery in the industrial sector, secured against the equipment acquired.
We are selective when it comes to investment opportunities, looking for promising sector/market positioning and talented teams and identifying companies with well-designed, innovative and competitive products.

We invest in mid-cap companies that represent the backbone of economies in the regions we operate in.

DISTRIBUTION CHAINS
Efficient supply chain mapping can reduce inventory, warehousing, and transportation costs. We structure and follow transactions through, from beginning to end of supply chains, particularly for companies seeking access to the Eastern European market.
Tight coordination between purchases and deliveries also facilitates the management of full operational cycle, and strengthens the relationship with customers.
