Measurable value for our shareholders

How we do it

As international investors, we generate sustained growth and offer a long-term, above-average value-perspective for our shareholders and continuous dividend payments. Consequently, we only buy and grow businesses with unique engineering capabilities. INDUS is known for understanding technology in more detail than others. This allows us to better balance the risk and return of our investments and act on it.

Our EMPOWERING MITTELSTAND strategy will lead to substantial inorganic growth through further acquisitions and sustained organic growth from our existing portfolio.
