Why AES INDUSTRIALS?
In-depth industry knowledge
We are experts in the machine building and engineering business. We recognize chances and risks related to this business, we are aware of the critical success factors, and we are familiar with the financing necessities. The managers of our portfolio companies respect us as constructive and at the same time challenging discussion partner with industry knowledge.
Synergies
The portfolio companies primarily act as independent players within their respective business environment. We strongly support decentralized structures and the management of our portfolio companies runs the business on a day to day basis fully responsible. Nevertheless: A targeted support from affiliated companies – when appropriate – helps to increase competitiveness. Cost advantages derive from synergies in administration or procurement, growth is strengthened via common sales activities, and long-term success is ensured by sharing technologies and establishing common innovation initiatives.
Close and reliable network
Our established networks allow our companies quick access to important business partners, be it suppliers, potential customers or capable financial partners. Our reliable, personal relationships are a prerequisite for a quick establishment of business relationships based on our “credit of trust”.
Independence
Success demands for persistent and sustainable long-term strategies. Being independent from capital markets and institutional investors on the one hand and having a long-term investment horizon on the other allows us to ensure that our investments receive the necessary time for their projected development.
Proven Track Record
At the end of the day, all involved transaction parties will ask themselves whether the transaction and the subsequent development of the company have been a success. The employees expect safe jobs, former owners of the business want to see “their” company in trustworthy hands, and our shareholders expect an adequate return on investment. Our first-class references show that we satisfy all these expectations to the fullest.
