Post by Le Comptoir du Private Equity

A German company founded in 1910 just crossed one billion euros in revenue for the first time. Family-owned for five generations. Never listed. Never raised external capital. Invests 10% of revenue in R&D every year, regardless of the cycle. ZIEHL-ABEGG SE builds the fans inside your data center, the motors inside your elevator, and so on. 26,000 products. 75% of revenue outside Germany. The company is not for sale.
