Business
Blue Cap AG is a Munich-based listed investment company founded in 2006 that acquires majority stakes in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in special situations, including turnaround, restructuring, succession, and carve-out scenarios, primarily in the business-to-business (B2B) industrial goods and services sectors; it applies a "buy, transform, sell" strategy while providing operational support for growth, digitization, and sustainability. The company targets SMEs with revenues typically between EUR 30 million and EUR 80 million, headquartered in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Europe, and the US, across segments such as adhesives & coatings (including Planatol GmbH, offering solvent-free adhesives and application systems; Uniplast Knaust GmbH & Co. KG, producing plastic cups for the food industry; HY-LINE Group, supplying electronics components with technical consulting), plastics (including con-pearl GmbH, specializing in plastics recycling, polypropylene foils, and lightweight boards; H+E Group, manufacturing high-quality plastic parts for automotive and other sectors), business services (including Transline Group, a digitized translation service provider), and others (such as nokra Optische Prüftechnik und Automation GmbH, providing laser measuring systems for inline inspection). Blue Cap AG holds approximately 550 employees across its portfolio and focuses on niche markets with long-term growth potential, enhancing portfolio companies' value through active management involvement. In recent developments, Blue Cap AG completed two significant divestments in 2024, selling Neschen Coating GmbH (self-adhesive products and coated media) to ATP adhesive systems AG in October and con-pearl GmbH (lightweight plastic solutions) to the Inteplast Group in August 2025, generating strong returns and bolstering financial reserves for new acquisitions. These exits followed earlier transactions, including the 2023 sale of Uniplast via management buy-out and Gämmerler in 2022, aligning with its strategy to realize value under the Best Owner approach. For 2025, the company confirms guidance for continuing operations with group revenue of EUR 120-140 million and adjusted EBITDA margin of 5.0%-6.0%, emphasizing portfolio optimization in business services, cash flow improvements, and active pursuit of M&A opportunities amid high liquidity. Leadership changes include Dr. Henning von Kottwitz as CEO since October 2023 and J. Henning Eschweiler as COO, supporting a focus on earnings growth and strategic expansions.
