MEP Management + Equity Partners AG

"We're not interested in short-term profits and a rapid exit from these companies," said executive board spokesman Dr Hartmut Kainer, "but more in a long-term strategy for increasing the company's value and ensuring its future viability. In this context, experience and trust are the basis of our success. Only if we succeed in re-structuring companies and, at the same time, accepting financial responsibility for them can the resulting situation – and hence the future of the holding company – be preserved over the long term."
