We acquire profitable industrial businesses across the Nordics & the Netherlands — and keep them running.

A private Estonian holding company. We buy owner-managed mechanical workshops, industrial maintenance and machining businesses directly — no fund, no committee, no exit clock.

Direct principal buyer, financed through seller notes

01 Why now

Europe’s owner generation is retiring faster than it can find successors.

Hundreds of thousands of profitable industrial businesses change hands this decade. Most owners have no family successor. We offer a direct buyer who keeps the workshop open, the crew employed, and the name on the door.

450,000Firms transfer ownership across the EU / year

150,000find no successor, risk closing

8.3–8.6×Current EBITDA multiples — lowest since 2014
