As an active investor, DI Mittelstand supports its portfolio companies with capital as well as operational and strategic know-how to ensure sustainable and profitable growth.
From the outset, the investment approach of DI Mittelstand combined the realization of operational improvement potentials along the value chain with the best possible exploitation of growth opportunities.
