Who we are
We have managed the investments in Romania of NCH Capital over the last 20 years and we have achiever an internal rate of return above 40% during this period. Such performance places us in the top 1-5 performers at the world level for the same period.
We are a team of professionals who master modern theories in management, marketing, sales, accounting, planning and technology, etc. We have successfully applied these theories in the Romanian changing and challenging environment, while continuously improving them with a focus on practical results, necessary corrections and constant improvement.
We have the experience and the financial resources to ease processes and operations, and willingness to succeed.
Strategy
We look for the next business success story, businesses that have the ingredients to become national market leaders. We are looking for managers who are ready to lead their company to a level 5-10 times larger and want to reach that level as soon as possible, managers who are ready to learn continuously, and open to innovation and new technologies.
We bring from day one capital for growth (organic and by acquisitions), strategy (market-leading operational and financial systems to allow best decisions), and expertise (across sectors, business/economy cycles) so that our portfolio companies benefit from arising opportunities.
We organize supporting departments to optimize reporting and decisions. We believe in the first mover approach, offering the company the resources to make fast and informed decisions; we work hard to develop market leaders and to generate growth.
All the above guarantees exits from investments at top multiples.
