Industrial Technology
Across industrial technologies, DPE aims to partner with strong management teams of growth-oriented and technologically leading mid-sized companies. Applications span discrete and process industries, e.g. microelectronics and semiconductors, life sciences and medical technology, aerospace and defense, food and (bio-)pharma, chemicals, green energy and agriculture, as well as the general high-tech manufacturing/supplier industry.
Within these applications, we focus on companies that manufacture components, modules, and (sub-)systems or provide critical services, solutions, and software.
A broad range of investment situations is addressed in support of hidden champions in specialized industrial niches, ranging from equity investments and capital increases to traditional succession solutions.
Drawing on access to our strong application expertise, technological know-how, and innovation capabilities – complemented by international scaling competence as well as proven expertise in the field of manufacturing and sales – management teams can leverage these value levers to advance the strategic development of their companies.
