Dear Sir or Madam,
|
|
Since the last newsletter, a lot has happened again: We can report on one new mid-market investment and two successful exits.
In a strong growth phase, we sold the homecare specialist medigroba to Löwenstein Group. And with the exit of CryLaS, we handed over a profitable, fast-growing high-tech company in the field of laser technology to a strategic investor.
We recently provided growth capital to the medium-sized specialist for drug delivery systems Develco Pharma. We talk to CEO Dr. Martin Renner about the medical benefits of special formulation systems and the economic prospects in this market segment.
We introduce you to our Senior Advisor Heinz Jacqui, who has been well-connected in the medtech world for decades and knows what challenges SMEs face in medical technology.
Hardly any other topic is currently being highlighted in the financial world as much as investing according to ESG criteria. This is a good thing, but of course nothing entirely new. At SHS, we have been investing according to ESG principles for almost 30 years and have also anchored them institutionally. My colleague André Zimmermann explains in more detail how we do this.
If you connect with us on LinkedIn, you can always stay up to date on everything important in healthcare and medical technology and find out what is happening at SHS.
Best regards from Tübingen
