Family Office

Wirtgen Invest. WE ARE SHAPING THE FUTURE.

Our guiding principle has always been to work on the future in the present. With this in mind, over the past 60 years we have developed our company, the WIRTGEN GROUP, from a company for road construction to the global market leader in the construction machinery sector, with around 10,000 employees and total revenue of more than EUR 3 billion.

For five years, we have brought the same creative determination to the management of our family office WIRTGEN INVEST. The name captures our strategic orientation. As a solid, financially strong company, we consistently focus on sustainable investment in business fields that we know. We have since developed into a global player that is sought out by the market for all relevant investments.

We invest our own money and hold onto our investments for the long term. Right from the very beginning, we have devoted great staff expertise and highly professional digital support to our investments in all areas. The reason for this is simple. We are independent of third-party economic interests and are dedicated solely to the family, our employees and partners, and to our social responsibility. As a family office, we contribute to the preservation and growth of wealth for future generations.

Creating value. Growing value. Living value. To us, these three missions are inseparable. We consistently and sustainably develop value. Our work is always rooted in the values that have grown up around our family-run business.

For us, it goes without saying: Success is always the result of a joint effort. In the interest of lasting and sustainable success, we create new jobs and rely on experienced teams and social interaction.

OUR STANDARD OF MEASURE: SHARED VALUES.

In-depth and successful collaboration requires a shared understanding of values. An entrepreneurial spirit, responsibility, integrity, courage and creative drive are the guardrails of our work. These characteristics have grown out of our entrepreneurial tradition and offer orientation to our partners and employees alike.

We place emphasis on the things that made us great. Acting with foresight. Making consistent use of opportunities. We also have an enterprise structure characterised by short decision pathways, quick decisions and a high level of flexibility. We do not manage; we actively help shape transactions, taking entrepreneurial risks of our own in the investments we make. This ensures us quick overall manoeuvrability in the market. With a sure sense for opportunities and possibilities. And a clear-headed assessment of risks.

We think in sustainable terms. Working from our family and business tradition, we take a holistic view of our investments, seeking maximum harmony among economic, environmental and social objectives. For this purpose, we set high standards for our investments by applying ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) standards. Sustainability in our investments thus means a systematic orientation driven by best-in-class criteria.

In all of our actions and decisions, we always consider the longterm perspective. We seek and create value-adding factors in our investments. To us, it’s not about short-term profit; it’s about sustainable economic success. Our aim is to occupy top positions in the various business segments in which we invest.

We invest in sectors with a sustainable future; in our business segments, we do not allow ourselves to be led by the market – instead, we play an active role in shaping it. With this in mind, we have created a highly professional environment at our location, an environment characterised by outstanding expertise in all of the business fields in which we operate. We take the design, governance and control of our investments into our own hands.

SUCCESS IS CREATED FROM KNOWLEDGE OF MARKETS, OPPORTUNITIES AND PEOPLE.

Long-term success requires an understanding and mastery of the overall context. As a family office, we have a special responsibility here.

Precise and comprehensive knowledge of the markets, and employees who are specialists in their field, offer the best prerequisites for making solid, sustainable decisions. There are certain business sectors where we do not invest until we have in-depth knowledge of the markets and the rules of the game. Accordingly, we have identified four business fields in which we operate with great success: Real Estate, Energy, Venture and Finance. We also play an active and sustainable role in the social field.

Our goal across all of the business fields is to invest wealth sensibly and generate sustainable, positive returns. So we only choose investments that suit us and our values. Potential business models must enrich our portfolio qualitatively in the long term.

From the beginning, the aim of company management has been to set up a digital family office. Thanks to a high degree of digital automation, we can implement all of the processes and tasks of a company effectively and highly efficiently. The task of managing our highly diversified investments calls for a solution that is individually tailored to each area, as well as higher-level IT that amalgamates all areas into an integrated system for management and reporting.

Right from the beginning, we, together with our employees, have consistently built the company into a global brand. Our engagementis complemented by the social area in which we, together with our foundations – the Jürgen Wirtgen Stiftung, the Stefan Wirtgen Stiftung and the Aktionsgruppe ‘Kinder in Not e.V.’ – bundle three strong institutions on behalf of social involvement at our family office headquarters.
