Danube Equity finances succession plans, MBOs, MBIs and the acquisition of medium-sized industrial companies as well as companies in their growing stage, particularly through early stage- and expansion financing.

Based on our specific industrial know-how, Danube Equity has specialized in the following industrial growth sectors:

• new materials and their processing technologies
• cleantech
• railway systems
• mechatronics/automation
• automotive technologies

We work in Austria, Germany, Switzerland and their neighbouring CEE countries.

Transaction volumes of up to 50 million Euros per investment can be realized, whereby we generally create a syndicate with other funds. Additionally, we co-operate with a large number of banks and funding organisations (e.g. AWS, FFG, KfW, etc.) in Austria and abroad.

The exit of Danube Equity is effected in close co-operation with the company, approximately three to six years following the investment, for instance via an IPO, trade sale, buy-back through former shareholders, merger or MBO/MBI.
