GESCO AG's Winner-Winner-Model
The GESCO business model is such a success because it serves the interests of all parties involved equally well and offers every partner great advantages:
Business owners selling to GESCO can start into a new phase of their life with the confidence that their life’s work is in reliable hands and can see that the jobs they have created are preserved. Owners have sold to an investor who is not going to break up the company, merge it or sell it after only a few years.
The new managing director is typically appointed from outside the company, but may come from inside the company in the case of a management buy-out, and manages the business independently. As required the managing director is welcome to access expertise held in GESCO AG or other companies in GESCO Group. GESCO AG actively encourages communication and information sharing within the Group.
Employees can rest assured that the company is going to continue operating with its successful image remaining unchanged and enhanced with new ideas.
Customers, suppliers, business partners and banks benefit from a successful company continuing its operations.
The economic benefit is considerable as a company with is worth preserving is going to continue to operate in the long-term.
GESCO AG participates in the success of its subsidiaries as a shareholder.
Thanks to the GESCO share GESCO shareholders have access to ambitious, creative industrial SME companies, which typically are out of reach of investors as stakes in these companies are not traded and spreading risk is then only possible on making a considerable investment. In contrast to a fund GESCO AG, as the majority shareholder, can exercise immediate influence on the strategic business policy, implements management and offers its companies extensive support.
