Schuerfeld Group

Schuerfeld Group

Schuerfeld Group traces its origins to Gustav Schürfeld's trading activities that began in Hamburg in 1937. Hendrik Schürfeld, a third-generation family member, serves as managing partner alongside Tim Fiedler and Jan Oberbeck. The firm operates as a multi-family office that manages wealth across generations while preserving the original trading and industrial holdings. Investment activity centers on direct equity positions in mid-sized companies. Confirmed holdings include Surteco Group, where the firm acts as largest single shareholder and supervisory board member, All4Labels Group, where it retains a minority board seat after the 2019 Triton transaction, and Drewsen Spezialpapiere, a 1958 investment still represented on the advisory board. Additional positions exist in Portals, MCG, Geiger-Notes AG, and Bühner Kalender. The firm also pursues venture capital and early-stage opportunities alongside growth and buyout transactions. Geographic reach covers Europe as the core market with additional exposure in Africa and the Middle East & Central Asia. The group maintains no disclosed headcount for its investment team. Its headquarters sit at Domstraße 18 in Hamburg, with prior operations at Mönckebergstraße 31. Adjacent holdings include industrial assets such as Shed 26 at the Port of Hamburg and Cellpap Terminal in Hamburg-Grasbrook. The Gustav and Catharina Schürfeld Foundation handles philanthropic activities separately from the investment mandate. No operational events from the last 24 months appear in public records. The structure differs from typical multi-family offices through its permanent ownership of operating companies that originated in the family's paper-trading business. This creates an integrated model where board representation and long-term minority or majority stakes coexist with newer venture and co-investment activity.
