Argos Wityu, founded in 1989, is an independent investment company that supports the management of medium-sized enterprises through seven offices spread across Western Europe. Argos Wityu invests between €30 and €100 million per transaction, taking majority stakes in companies with EBITDA ranging from €10 to €25 million. They do not have a sector focus. Their investment strategy is oriented toward creating value through transformation and growth rather than financial leverage, and by providing solutions for complex situations (e.g., MBI, spin-off/carve-out, privatization).
New Strategy
Since last year, Argos Wityu has launched the Argos Climate Action Fund alongside its regular Mid-Market Fund. The Climate Action Fund focuses on supporting companies in the "grey-to-green" transition, with decarbonization serving as one of its primary value creation drivers. The goal is to create sustainable leaders, and the fund has set a CO2 reduction target of -7.5% annually.
