AUCTUS Capital Partners AG is an independent investment company founded in Munich in 2001. The firm says it manages more than EUR 1 billion of fund capital and has a team of more than 35 investment professionals overseeing 50 platform investments across multiple sectors.
AUCTUS focuses on the European Mittelstand and describes its role as a strategic partner rather than an operator in day-to-day management. Its model is centered on majority investments, buy-and-build strategies, succession solutions, carve-outs, and growth or acquisition capital for profitable mid-sized businesses.
Investment Thesis & Focus
- AUCTUS looks for “future market leaders” among small to large Mittelstand companies that can serve either as new platforms or as add-ons to existing platforms.
- Platform criteria include Europe-wide opportunities, EUR 10-200 million revenue, EBIT above EUR 2 million, sustainable profitability, strong management, attractive growth or consolidation potential, and durable competitive advantages.
- Add-on criteria include worldwide targets with more than EUR 1 million revenue, EBIT above EUR 0, well-positioned businesses, and clear strategic value for an existing buy-and-build concept.
- AUCTUS’s sector map includes business services, IT, industrials, consumer, infrastructure, renewable energy, and healthcare.
- The firm’s stated operating philosophy is to build value through revenue and earnings growth alongside portfolio-company management; founder Dr. Ingo Krocke is quoted by AUCTUS as saying the firm gives companies the time they need to grow from good Mittelstand businesses into global market leaders.
