Newsletter Q2 2023
Dear shareholders,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Our group is multifaceted. This is ensured by the nine portfolio companies from different sectors of German medium-sized companies we currently have in our portfolio. The same applies to the events and dimensions that characterize the day-to-day business of the Blue Cap Group. This gave the impetus for this first newsletter, which will be followed by others at regular intervals. With the aim of providing you with the best possible information and bringing you closer to new topics in an understandable way.
If you have any questions, criticism or suggestions, please write to us at any time at ir@blue-cap.de or give us a call.
We wish you interesting reading and thank you for your interest!
