A holding company for the Mittelstand
Schmitz Capital is an independent holding company from Munich. We acquire majority stakes in established companies in Germany and Austria – mainly in succession situations – and develop them for the long term.
Many of the best companies in Germany and Austria are not listed on any stock exchange; they are found in the Mittelstand. They deserve a succession that preserves their strengths and opens up new possibilities.
How we work
Integrity
We say what we think and do what we say – even when the answer is that a company is not right for us.
Discretion
Selling a company is confidential. We treat every piece of information as we would expect our own to be treated.
Partnership
We develop companies together with the people who carry them – with respect for what was built before us.
Your point of contact
At Schmitz Capital, you speak with the same person from the first conversation to the handover.
Louis Schmitz
Founder and Managing Partner
Louis Schmitz founded Schmitz Capital to offer established Mittelstand companies a succession built on continuity rather than a quick resale. He is your direct point of contact – from the first conversation to the handover.
