EX.TRA Management

EX.TRA Management is a German private equity firm focusing on direct middle-market investments and fund-of-funds activities. The firm engages in buyouts and growth capital in mid-sized companies and can pursue follow-ons, spin-offs, and restructuring, including opportunities with family-owned or highly leveraged businesses. It also allocates capital to private equity and real estate funds through fund-of-funds investments. The geographic focus is German-speaking markets. Target sectors include automotive, medical technology, optical systems, electronics, wholesale and special services, and energy and environmental technologies. Typical investments range from €0.5 million to €20 million in equity, targeting companies with annual turnover around €50 million, but willing to consider €10-€100 million and EBITDA around 10% of sales. The firm prefers control investments with a majority stake to influence strategy and financing structure, and aims to exit primarily via an initial public offering after a four- to six-year horizon. Founded in 2001, it is based in Monheim am Rhein with an office in Zossen.
