Another investment by Omikron Capital
In the middle of last year, Omikron Capital took over 100 per cent. shares of the company ZAP-Mechanika from Ostrów Wielkopolski, which also specializes in precision metal processing. Like Dagat ECO, the company was a family business acquired directly from the owners.
Omikron Capital, as an entity operating on the private equity market, focuses on investments, among others, in family businesses where the founders want to withdraw from running a business or are looking for a partner who will help them dynamically develop the enterprise.
Investors focus primarily on successful industrial and service companies with adequate growth potential. Omikron Capital is distinguished by a comprehensive approach to the acquired companies, which, after the purchase, are actively supported by expert knowledge and experience gained by investors during almost 30 transactions.
