The Davidoff Group takes an active, hands-on role in guiding our senior managers, leveraging the depth of our industry experience and extensive networks, to create value for our portfolio companies, through strategic direction, innovative business models, operational synergies and geographic expansion.

The Davidoff Group’s flexible approach opens the way to several types of investment structures: from full buy-out, joint control or significant minority. Historically, the group has focused on old economy, service-based companies with strong potential growth engines. Today, the group takes a more global, sector-agnostic perspective, favoring opportunities where its value-add is clear, such as opening new markets or leading acquisitions.

As a group, we excel at transforming good companies into great ones, with long-term futures. Leveraging the strength of our team, resources and know-how, we excel at leading companies to the next stage of their evolution – focusing on opening new markets, strengthening existing ones, and enabling international expansion.

Post-investment, we work closely with our management teams as active partners to build sustainable, innovative and market-leading businesses.
