It's not in good shape. Nobody else really wants it.

A very complex situation, not core, too small to be relevant and still highly complex. All that said you need a trustworthy long-term investor. Somebody who makes sure that the business will survive. Even though standalone it’s not bankable.

We are more an entrepreneur than an investor. We can provide significant deal and management capabilities. Ideally for complex carve outs, successions and restructuring cases. Besides, we can take decisions fast and are most flexible in deal structures. Including options for you to participate in the upside.

We focus on businesses in the ballpark of 150m to 1.5bn revenue. Ideally, headquartered in Germany, with an industrial B2B business, and the more complex the better.

As long-term committed, responsible owners we have earned our reputation with workers councils, unions, and local communities. Even though we take on most challenging businesses.

Our first investment was the 160 years old Siteco (former Siemens Beleuchtungstechnik). An industrial lighting solution company with more than 1.000 employees. Multiple more investments have followed.

With Stern Stewart Industries, we take risks when others hesitate.
