Why choose Octopus Capital?

Strategy

The Octopus Capital team has more than 60 years of corporate experience. We firmly believe that our companies can mutually reinforce each other by exchanging technical and strategic advice.

Multi-discipline

Thanks to our combined forces, we are technically multidisciplinary, which means that we can strongly optimize the companies among themselves. This is a high-quality asset that the Octopus Capital team fully believes in.

Flexibility

Our third asset is flexibility: Our interests are wide and we are open to new markets with the aim of achieving strong growth also in terms of expertise and skills.

Our basic principles

The mission of Octopus Capital is to work on professionalization by realizing well-considered acquisitions and transfers. We are an Investment Partner that provides the necessary capital and support to motivated entrepreneurs: in this way we want to offer promising suppliers the opportunity to realize their ambition. Octopus Capital also stimulates healthy ambition by continuing to invest in expertise and training within the various companies.

We are not a Private Equity that often wishes to achieve returns in the short term. As an Investment Partner, we want to distinguish ourselves by optimizing the chances of success with an active involvement and by focusing on good relationships and results in the long term. We benefit from making our companies financially stronger.
