AEQUITA

AEQUITA

AEQUITA was established in 2018 by Dr. Axel Geuer following the monetization of his stake in the listed investment group Mutares. The firm operates as a multi-family office from its headquarters in Munich and maintains offices in Summerville, South Carolina, and Tokyo. The office acquires mid-sized industrial and automotive companies through buyouts, distressed situations, and carve-outs. It executes buy-and-build strategies and implements operational turnarounds. Confirmed holdings include Velogy, TMD Friction, PEINER SMAG, Willi Elbe, Durkopp, KTX, Breyden, Manage Now, SMAG Mobile Antenna Masts, and Signata. Transactions have involved European assets divested by SABIC and LyondellBasell. Activity centers on Europe with additional presence in North America and Japan. AEQUITA maintains a team of partners and operating executives who oversee portfolio companies. Additional offices support North American and Japanese operations. The firm belongs to the German Private Equity and Venture Capital Association (BVK). No dated operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. AEQUITA structures investments through direct ownership of operating companies rather than fund vehicles. Governance centers on the founder and a small group of managing partners who retain control over acquisition and exit decisions.
