The second quarter of 2026 continued along a strong trajectory: we successfully completed five add‑ons across our portfolio of buy‑and‑build platforms. These transactions underline the strength of our sourcing and execution capabilities, even in a demanding market environment, and further scale and diversify our portfolio companies. Q2 once again demonstrates how effectively our investment team works hand in hand with our portfolio management teams to drive operational value creation and sustainable growth.

Thank you David Döbele and Karriere Insider Podcast for hosting our Partner Eric Blumenthal. In the podcast, Eric talks about the current challenges for PE Investors and how Buy & Build, paired with operational improvements, can unlock value. Of course, how AI changes the way PE does business, is also part of the conversation.

10 years AURELIUS Growth: a decade of backing ambitious, growing small- and midcaps.   Over the past ten years, we have helped entrepreneurs find successors, realise expansion plans, drive internationalisation and execute buy-and-build strategies across a broad range of sectors.   We used our summer gathering with colleagues and their families at Bamberger Haus in Munich on 4 July as a moment to look back on this first decade and to say thank you. Our sincere thanks go to all our business partners, investors, portfolio company teams and employees. Your trust and support have been essential in shaping AURELIUS Growth and its portfolio into what it is today.   Here's to the next decade for AURELIUS Growth!

Great Job Opportunity for a Hands-on Data Analyst 🚀   Build a Data & Analytics function from scratch – no legacy, full ownership, real impact across a growing PE portfolio.   At AURELIUS Wachstumskapital in Munich, our Data & Analytics work shapes how investment and portfolio teams decide – and we are looking for a Manager Data & Analytics (m/f/d) to lead it. You will not inherit a maze of legacy systems: you design how it is built, backed by strong external partners and the wider AURELIUS Data & BI organisation.   💼 What the role looks like in practice: leading analytics projects across our portfolio end-to-end – from turning financial and operational data into clear Power BI dashboards and decision-ready KPIs to hands-on, no-code enablement in our portfolio companies. Recent examples range from a central deal & pipeline analytics layer on Microsoft Fabric to a group-wide data platform for a buy-and-build group.   🏆 Who we are looking for: a hands-on, pragmatic data analyst with a business background, a strong feel for data and Power BI, and the confidence to lead projects across changing industries. Fluent German and English, plus openness to regular on-site time with our portfolio companies.   If turning fragmented data into decision-ready clarity sounds like your kind of challenge, we would love to hear from you.   Swipe through the slider for details of the role and real project examples.   Questions?

Attached a recent article published on Real Deals about buy & build strategies I agree with Mark Asher at Real Deals - The PE market is full of Jenga tower builders. Stack acquisition on acquisition. Hope the integration holds. Pray nobody pulls the wrong block. Mark is right to be sceptical — when buy-and-build is just buy-and-stack, it was never a strategy. At AURELIUS Wachstumskapital , we do things differently. We build solid houses. Foundation first — deep industry expertise before the first bolt-on. Load-bearing walls — dedicated integration teams wiring every acquisition into the platform before the next one begins. A roof that holds — operational improvement here and now, not deferred. You won't find us managing a wobbling tower three to five years from now. You'll find our businesses stand on their own. https://lnkd.in/eeUx_xkM

Keeping critical infrastructure running smoothly often happens out of sight – but it’s essential. From inspecting underground infrastructure to rehabilitating entire sewer systems with minimal disruption, dks group shows what modern, sustainable pipeline rehabilitation really looks like in practice. Proud to see our portfolio company DKS Group bringing their work to life in this new video (German-language video commentary).

Consolidating markets, acquiring regional champions, capturing synergies, that is the classic Buy-and-Build playbook. But how do you turn many individual parts into something that functions as a whole? What wins over investors, customers, and employees today is not deal count alone, but the quality of integration behind it. At AURELIUS Wachstumskapital, we call this Integration 3.0. With our support, G & N Gruppe, one of Germany's leading independent providers of fire safety and security technology, has become a clear example of what is possible when integration itself becomes the competitive advantage. Thank you, Andreas Blase, for sharing your insights on your work with G & N Gruppe!

Some founders are looking for the next stage of growth. Others are ready to hand over a life's work. Either way, the question is the same: who takes this company further?   Across the Mittelstand, there are exceptional businesses that have grown as far as they can on their own. Strong brands, loyal teams, deep local roots – and real potential still ahead. That's where we come in. At AURELIUS Wachstumskapital, we build groups where strong companies keep their identity, team, and operational independence – and gain the capital, expertise, and network to reach their full potential.   Our community catering group Symporo Culinary Group is one of them: independent businesses, growing together under one roof without losing what makes each of them special.   We don't just invest, we're company builders at heart, helping strong companies reach further than they could alone.
