We are pleased to announce that Franz Reiffenstuel has joined Adelis Equity Partners as a Partner, heading the firm’s expansion into the German lower mid-market. Franz will be based in our newly opened office in Munich.
Franz brings more than 15 years of professional experience from senior positions in German private equity, most recently as a Partner at DPE Deutsche Private Equity.
The recruitment is a key component of Adelis’ expansion into the German market and coincides with the firm’s opening of an office in Munich.
“We are very pleased with Franz joining the Adelis team. He has a strong investment track record, highly relevant sector experience and an investment approach we believe will be a strong fit with Adelis. Having already been actively making add-on acquisitions there for several years, we see Germany and the broader DACH-region as attractive markets for us and natural next steps in the expansion of the firm. We are very excited about adding Franz’s capabilities to help us continue to build a leading lower mid-market private equity firm in Northern Europe”, says Jan Åkesson, Co-Managing Partner at Adelis.
“I am genuinely passionate to continue what I have been doing for the last decade: to enter into true partnerships with entrepreneurs to accelerate their growth and bring their companies to the next level. Adelis’ values, culture and investment focus form an ideal platform for many future investments in the German-speaking mid-market.”, says Franz Reiffenstuel.
In the coming year, Franz Reiffenstuel will be joined in the Munich office by additional investment professionals.
