The managing partners of Centum Capital stand for the values of continuity and professionalism. We combine business experience with corporate finance know-how. All the partners come from international industrial and service companies and have been working together as a team since the Nineties. Before establishing Centum Capital in 2001 our team executed numerous transactions all over Europe for a Swiss technology holding. Prior to that the partners worked within corporate development /M&A of a division of Thyssen AG (now ThyssenKrupp), one of the largest industrial groups in Europe.
