Our vision
To belong to the best in the industry
We aim to successfully position all of our subsidiaries on the market so that they are sustainable and successful in the long term and are among the best in their sector.
As an owner-managed investment company, it has been our core business to develop companies for over 25 years now. In addition to a wealth of experience, we have everything we need to turn our vision for your company into reality: Capital, concepts, expertise and our special win-win culture.
Our goal
Long-term success
Business success begins with actually ‘doing business’ in the literal sense, i.e. becoming active, doing something. Doing something in a new, future oriented direction is part of NWI’s mission.
Our company goal: NWI subsidiaries should always become the best in their branch – in line with the principle of continuous improvement.
We do not believe in short-term investments, but instead focus on long-term success. We know that the conditions for this cannot simply be bought or determined in a controlling manner, but need to be developed. In addition to the necessary capital, we also place factors such as independence, partnership-based cooperation and personality at the heart of our consulting and operational work.
