Caldec Holding GmbH & Co. OHG is an independent entrepreneurial holding company that takes long-term direct stakes in businesses, operating primarily within the DACH region (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland). They specialize in investing in established, medium-sized companies that exhibit low asset intensity and have a balanced customer structure. The suitable companies for their portfolio are expected to have an operational result between 2 and 5 million Euros, a history of at least five years, significant market positioning, and solid growth potential. Their investment approach does not rely on external financiers, allowing for swift, transparent, and autonomous decision-making. Caldec Holding primarily finances its investments with equity, aiming for consistent distributions. They take a collaborative approach to management, understanding themselves as co-entrepreneurs rather than mere investors. Their goal is to actively support their portfolio companies in increasing profits, competitive edge, and market position. Caldec Holding is open to varying levels of involvement, from significant minority ownership to full acquisition. The firm has a background in fields such as business services (including business process outsourcing, software, and IT services), financial services, healthcare services, and digital media. They have acquired numerous stakes in the corporate services and health sectors and have undertaken multiple acquisitions through these platforms. Caldec Holding's team is well-versed in direct investments, operational management, and strategic consulting, valuing reliable and respectful cooperation with their partners. In addition to their business endeavors, they support Right To Play, an international non-profit that aids disadvantaged children through educational and sport programs. Caldec Holding is led by Managing Partners Markus Metyas, Florian Wendelstadt, and Hermann Wendelstadt, who bring extensive experience in management and advisory roles from notable firms and serve on various advisory boards.
