THE POWER OF THE ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
Parcom Deutsche Private Equity ("PDPE") provides growth capital to companies in sectors with long-term fundamental growth prospects. We are an independent German private equity firm, which was created in December 2007 with the backing of Parcom Capital, a pan-European investment subsidiary of the Dutch ING Group with over €2bn invested in over 250 companies.
PDPE has an initial committed capital of €250m and targets €5-50m equity investments in German, Swiss and Austrian middle-market companies with enterprise values of €10-150m in the following sectors: Business Services, Education, Healthcare, Industrial Technology and Alternative Energy/Environment. As an active partner of management teams we aim to develop companies over longer holding periods (5-10+ years) through organic and external growth.
We are "Entrepreneurs for Entrepreneurs” as we think and act like "Mittelstand” founders who seek to preserve the independence of mid-sized companies through the execution of long-term business strategies. We are therefore the ideal partner for "Mittelstand” owners and "Mittelstand” managements, who seek a long-term committed partner to preserve the success and legacy of their enterprise.
