Liaunig Industrieholding

Liaunig Industrieholding

Herbert W. Liaunig established the firm from the earlier Auricon Gruppe in the early 1990s. Alexander Liaunig now serves as CEO while Dieter Feger acts as deputy chairman of the supervisory board. The structure centers on direct control of operating companies rather than fund commitments. The firm acquires majority positions and participates in buyouts, growth equity, and turnaround situations. It maintains exposure across AgriTech & FoodTech, Industrial Tech, ClimateTech, and Robotics & Automation. Investments span Europe with additional activity in North America, Asia, and Africa. The approach relies on operational involvement at portfolio companies instead of passive fund-of-funds allocations. The firm reports an estimated 81 million USD in assets. It operates from a single headquarters in Vienna and maintains the Museum Liaunig as an adjacent cultural vehicle. Herbert W. Liaunig passed away in 2023. No additional offices or club memberships beyond TÜV Austria board service are recorded. The ownership model requires at least 51 percent stakes and integrates family principals directly into supervisory roles, creating a governance link between the holding company and operating subsidiaries that differs from typical external-manager structures.
