ARGOS is a single-family office that supports the development of the family business of Dr. Hans-Peter Maassen and Florian Pape. Over the past 20 years it has bought groups of companies in mechanical engineering, surface treatment, electrical engineering and the construction industry out of succession situations, and has grown them for the long term. To widen its activities, ARGOS seeks successful, medium-sized family businesses facing succession in manufacturing and services. The firm holds its companies long term and develops them further while staying independent. It takes an active role in management and, where needed, can assume long-term full-time management on site. ARGOS acquires majority stakes with its own equity and has no interest in reselling. Executives are offered an attractive stake in the company. Its many years of management experience allow it to run an acquired company in keeping with the existing corporate culture.
