At Andlinger, Doomany is part of a private-investment group with offices in New York, Florida, Vienna, and Brussels. The firm describes itself as a closed group of private investors and emphasizes long holding periods, operational involvement, flexibility in transaction structure, and speed of decision-making rather than a conventional fund model.

• Andlinger’s stated focus is control-oriented: “controlling majority, 100% ownership preferred,” with management participation preferred but not required.
• The firm targets “primarily industrial and/or technical companies” with industrial or B2B customer bases.
• Preferred targets are “innovation champions or strong niche players” with minimum revenue around $/€80 million and enterprise value between $/€1 million and $/€150 million.
• Geography is North America and Europe: companies should be based in the U.S., Canada, or Europe, though operations can be global and export potential is encouraged.
• Andlinger says it has “no maximum holding period” and that its financial commitment is open-ended.
• The firm emphasizes operating involvement: partners have operating and line-management experience and can provide interim management or active board support.
• Situations of interest include succession issues, corporate divestitures, management issues, refinancing needs, and cases where Andlinger can apply a practical operating approach.
• Sectors of little interest include trading, distribution or contracting businesses, consumer goods, retail, food, infrastructure, media, and financial institutions.
