Our approach

Each investment is unique, yet every partnership is built on the same foundation: a deep understanding of the business and mutual trust.

 
 

Our focus

Investment criteria

Rooth invests in medium-sized companies with a strong focus on technology and innovation. We partner with businesses that hold a solid position in a growing market, that excel in their field and invest in their people. We often invest alongside existing or incoming management teams and, when needed, we use our network of experienced professionals to strengthen leadership teams. The companies we invest in typically meet the following criteria:

  • Based in the Netherlands or have a strong connection to the Dutch market.

  • Operating in manufacturing, machinery, IT or agri-food technology.

  • An operating income of €2 million or more.

  • The possibility for acquiring a majority stake.

Our added value

Connecting talent, opportunity and capital

A successful partnership starts with a deep understanding of the business and the ambitions of its founders or management. What are the goals for the company? What is the vision for the future? Together, we shape a shared perspective on these questions and tailor our involvement accordingly.

Our involvement may vary with each partnership. It often includes acting as a permanent sounding board, driving strategic development, strengthening leadership teams and supporting additional acquisitions or investments. In addition, we aim to accelerate growth and empower leadership teams by bringing strategic insight, operational experience and access to a wide network of professionals. This way, we can realise our ambitions, together.
