Shareholdings in trading companies

A holding company built around trade

Based in the south of Baden-Württemberg, on the Danube.

BCR Beteiligungs GmbH is a holding company organised under German law. Our main business is acquiring and holding equity interests in trading companies, and managing those companies once we are shareholders.

A holding company does not sell goods itself. It owns, directs and supports the businesses that do. We take that role seriously: we look closely at each trading company before we invest, we follow its development after we have invested, and we stay available to its management when decisions need to be made.

Trading businesses depend on sound purchasing, reliable logistics, careful credit decisions and good relationships with customers and suppliers. Our approach is to bring ownership and management experience together, so questions of strategy, finance and organisation are handled with the full picture in view.

What we do for the companies we hold

Five areas of work that make up our activity as a holding and management company.

Acquisition of shareholdings

We identify trading companies that fit our long-term approach and assess their business model, market position and financial standing. Where the fit is right, we acquire a shareholding and agree the terms of our role as an owner.

  • Evaluation
  • Negotiation
  • Completion

Management of participations

Once a shareholding is acquired, we manage it actively. We exercise shareholder rights, follow developments in each company and keep an overview of all holdings so that decisions are consistent across the group.

  • Shareholder rights
  • Monitoring
  • Group overview

Management of trading companies

Beyond holding shares, we take part in managing the companies themselves. We work with local teams on purchasing, sales, organisation and day-to-day questions that shape how a trading business performs.

  • Operations
  • Purchasing and sales
  • Organisation

Financial planning and controlling

We support budgeting, liquidity planning and regular reporting at company and holding level. Reliable figures give owners and managers a shared basis for deciding where to invest and where to hold back.

  • Budgeting
  • Liquidity
  • Reporting

Portfolio structuring and development

We review how our holdings fit together and adjust the structure when the business calls for it, whether that means strengthening an existing company, combining activities or reshaping a shareholding.

  • Strategy
  • Long-term planning

Why work with BCR

Whether you are a business owner considering a partner or a counterparty dealing with one of our companies, this is what you can expect from us.

Ownership with involvement

We do not hold shares from a distance. We take part in managing the companies we own and stay in regular contact with their teams.

Focus on trade

Our attention is on trading companies. That focus lets us understand supply chains, margins and customer relationships in depth.

Long-term orientation

We make decisions with the future of each company in mind, and we value stable, lasting relationships over quick transactions.

A defined holding structure means clear responsibilities, and a direct line to the people who decide. Enquiries are answered by us, not passed along.
