Owner-managed. Reliable. Built to last.
The Glatz Group is an owner-managed family holding company. We invest in technologically leading mid-sized businesses and support them for the long term – with our own capital, entrepreneurial experience and the ambition to leave every company stronger than we found it.
What guides us is simple: reliability towards our customers and partners, respect for the people in our companies, and the patience to let value grow over years.
“My name is on the door. That isn't marketing, it's an obligation — to our customers, to our people, and to the owners who entrust us with their life's work.”
As a family holding, we think in generations, not quarters. We take on companies to develop them – not to pass them on.
Holding ourselves to a high standard is our default, not an imposed requirement. Whatever carries our name has to be convincing.
We work with customers and suppliers as equals, over many years. Good relationships are substance to us, not decoration.
Commitments hold. Our customers know where they stand with us – that's the foundation of every long-term collaboration.
Short paths, direct contacts, fast decisions. Whoever talks to us talks to the people who decide.
Our companies live through the people who carry them. We create an environment where they want to stay and grow.
We look for companies that are technically leading within a clearly defined market segment – where specialist knowledge and established customer relationships create a real competitive advantage. That's exactly what we find in our current portfolio companies, STS Oberholz GmbH & Co. KG (locking technology for the RV and caravan industry), NKK GmbH (components and spare parts for rail vehicles and buses) and STS USA LLC (locking technology for the North American market).
