GESCO was founded in 1989 to invest in SME companies in the German Mittelstand, focusing on companies facing succession challenges and with ongoing growth potential. There are currently 17 companies in GESCO’s holding structure, with four of these added in the last 12 months. These companies are substantially focused on tool manufacturing and mechanical engineering with some plastics technology exposure too with a range of end markets addressed.

Financials

GESCO’s strategy has been to acquire specialist German headquartered engineering businesses to be managed on a decentralised and largely autonomous basis. The new strategy sees increased engagement and services from the centre (GESCO Group functions) to assist the development and growth of the subsidiary companies while looking to retain their entrepreneurial spirit.
