Sustainable Growth and Succession Planning

In addition to private wealth management, it focuses specifically on investments in medium-sized companies, with a key emphasis on the sustainable implementation of succession planning.

A central pillar of the family's activities is the building of a corporate platform centered around water technology.

This commitment is highlighted by anchor investments such as Düker GmbH, a renowned manufacturer of cast iron components for water supply and wastewater disposal.
