Overview

OLTA Nachfolge’s core activity is to acquire one Infrastructure-adjacent German SME and compound equity through a disciplined entry, organic growth, selective board-approved bolt-on acquisitions, and credible exit paths.

The thesis sits at the intersection of two durable trends: Germany’s widening Mittelstand succession wave and a historic Infrastructure renewal cycle. Germany alone faces an estimated €1.9 trillion Infrastructure renewal need from 2025 to 2035, creating long-lived demand for asset-light businesses that enable and support essential Infrastructure.

OLTA Nachfolge targets profitable, cash-generative SMEs with €2–€5 million EBITDA, margins above 15%, €10–€25 million enterprise value, and 15+ years of operating history, typically in succession or retirement situations.

Maximilian Gorzelitz and Talu Hakverdi, CFA have known each other personally for over 15 years and lead OLTA Nachfolge together as a high-trust partnership with clear role separation. Max runs the acquired company day-to-day as CEO, while Talu supports as an active operating partner across finance and capital structure stewardship, M&A, and investor relations, reinforced by an incentivized advisory bench.
