A LONG-TERM INVESTMENT IN CHINESE MARKET LEADERS.

In addition to its activities in the European and US-American markets as part of its internationalisation strategy, WIRTGEN INVEST has now invested for the first time in Chinese companies, too. The targeted investments are being made in carefully selected firms that are either market leaders in their sector or hold a very strong, almost incontestable market position. The companies exhibit high growth dynamics and long-term growth horizons. The investments span a wide variety of industry sectors, such as consumer goods, services, logistics and technology, and are being made in cooperation with a strategic partner that has extensive knowledge of the companies in question. Investment decisions are only reached after conducting an in-depth, often years-long business analysis. Strict valuation standards are applied before acquiring a stake in the companies. Our investments are intended as strategic holdings with long-term time perspectives.
