The most important private equity companies in Germany: from global funds to small equity investors
Large global private equity companies such as Allianz Capital Partners or Triton are familiar to most finance professionals. But our investor directory goes far beyond the big funds and covers the entire German market. Thus, the list also includes smaller, specialised equity investors, which are of great importance especially for German medium-sized companies. By indicating the capital under management (if available) and the usual investment sizes, the appropriate PEs can be easily filtered out. Whether you are looking for a partner for management buy out (MBO), spin-off, restructuring, succession or growth – our address database will contain the perfect partner for your project. Even M&A consultancies, which already have a large network and their own database of relevant German private equity companies, were able to track down numerous new investment companies thanks to our overview.

For these reasons, private equity investors are valuable contacts for managing directors, consultants and co.
In the public discussion, equity investors are often reduced to their activities in the context of restructuring and corporate recovery. However, this does not go far enough, as German private equity funds are sought-after partners for German SMEs. Private equity (PE) companies acquire shares in companies with the aim of reselling them for a multiple of the original price. To do so, they pool the money of financially strong investors and try to support the company on its way to success and increase profitability. This so-called buy & build approach has become increasingly relevant in recent years. There are various forms of private equity investments. PE companies make growth investments, provide support in company takeovers and spin-offs or successions and also implement management buyouts and buyins. Especially German family businesses and medium-sized companies trust in these equity partners to secure the future of the company and to be able to pursue their own plans.

1. Triton Consulting Company GmbH
Triton is a private equity company based in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, with offices in Luxembourg, the United Kingdom, Italy, the Scandinavian countries, New York and Shanghai. This makes its international presence clear. The company was founded in 1997 with funds from KfW, the World Bank and several Swedish family foundations. It is a German-Swedish initiative. The family of the now deceased IKEA founder Kamprad is also to be involved. The company is one of the most important private equity funds in Germany.

Currently (as of mid-2019) the investment portfolio comprises 38 companies, which together have an annual turnover of 14 billion euros and 72,000 employees. To date, the investment commitment has been made through eight closed-end funds, in which institutional investors "outside of Triton" are also involved – pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, foundations and insurance companies. The investment focus is on larger mid-sized companies – preferably in the service, consumer goods, healthcare and industrial sectors. In addition to equity investments, Triton also invests to a lesser extent in debt, through the Triton Debt Opportunities Fund (TDO).
Here are three examples of Triton investments:
– in June 2017, the Swedish company Akeab was acquired – a leading construction company in southern Sweden focusing on construction and excavation work in road construction;
– in December 2018, the Danish taxi service provider Dantaxi 4×4 – a transport company with a nationwide presence that has existed since 1937 – was acquired;

However, if we do not have an e-mail address or we do not know whether a company is investing in a particular area, we fill this field with an "n.a.".

How up-to-date is the list?
We have noted the last update date in the product description at the top of the page. We update our lists regularly. Our customers receive free updates and additions to the list for at least 12 months.
What contact details are included in the list?
Our lists include – if publicly available – address, telephone number, e-mail addresses and management names of the listed companies. For privacy reasons, we may only include information that is publicly available or provided by the companies. If no data points are available, there is an "n.a." in the corresponding field.
Does the list include personal contact information?
Due to GDPR our lists do not include personal e-mail addresses and telephone numbers. Our lists include publicly available contact data or contact data provided by the companies (e-mail address, telephone number, postal address, names of directors).
Does the use of the data comply with the laws (GDPR)?
Our lists do not include any personal contact data that is specifically protected by the European Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our lists always include publicly accessible data points (official registers such as the Commercial Register or the Federal Gazette, Internet, company websites) or data provided voluntarily by companies.
In Germany, contact is regulated by §7 UWG. Thus, postal advertising in the B2B sector is generally permitted. Contacting by telephone is permitted if the business contact is presumably interested. This is often also assumed for e-mail contact, as long as the contact is made once and the contact is not included in newsletters without being asked.
Important note: We are not lawyers and cannot make legally binding statements. If you have any open questions, please feel free to contact us.
What is the best way to contact the companies included in the list?
The companies included in the lists can be contacted in various ways – by telephone, postal letter, e-mail, networks such as LinkedIn, jointly attended trade fairs. In order to establish successful contacts, it is particularly important to work on individualized addresses tailored to the respective companies. Mass letters are rarely successful. Instead, our customers are most successful when they adapt to the companies included in our lists, obtain information and then address them in a customized manner. Another successful approach is to contact them via LinkedIn, for example, by selecting the right contact person from our list and then addressing them via a consistent starting point. Intros" that are mediated via shared contacts are also a good step towards establishing contact. Also possible: at trade fairs visited together, you can use the trade fair lists to search specifically for companies included in the lists and make appointments for meetings.
In general: the more effort is put into the individual approach, the more successful it is. Think about what suitable starting points are, how you can deliver added value and show the addressed companies that you put a lot of effort into the contact. Many of our customers have already built up valuable and successful business relationships.
