What Egeria does

Egeria is an independent Dutch private investment company founded in 1997 by the Brenninkmeijer family and Peter Visser, headquartered in Amsterdam with offices in Berlin, Munich, Zug and Boston. It operates four practices: Egeria Private Equity (mid-market majority investments up to €500M enterprise value in Benelux and DACH, 5–7 year horizons), Egeria Evergreen (long-duration capital for €300–500M platform companies in global niche industries with 10+ year holding periods), Egeria Real Estate Investments (high-quality residential and commercial assets in A1 locations across Netherlands, Germany, and the United States), and Egeria Do (a corporate giving program). The firm manages approximately €3.5 billion in assets and employs 70+ investment professionals across five offices in four countries.

Egeria's revenue model is built on traditional private equity economics: management fees on committed or invested capital across its funds (most recently €1.25 billion for Private Equity Fund VI in 2024 and €700 million for the Evergreen fund), supplemented by carried interest on successful realizations. The firm pursues a partnership model with management co-ownership, and its active portfolio spans 10+ operating companies across highly diversified verticals including HVAC and air quality (Duravent), offshore steel structures (SIF Group), ceramics (Royal Mosa), staffing (The Employment Group), aircraft painting (MAAS Aviation), consumer electronics accessories (Trust), hospitality (Fletcher Hotels), rubber compounding (Elastofirm), online travel (Afrika Invest), and SAP consulting (SUPERP, Cpro GROUP). Recent strategic actions include the 2024 Fund VI launch, the 2023 establishment of Boston-based North American operations, and a March 2026 co-investment with Bain Capital in Duravent.

The company is privately held with no public listing; the Brenninkmeijer family (via Bregal) departed as Limited Partner in 2008, making the firm fully independent. Leadership includes CEO Egbert Prenger (since 2022), Managing Partners Hannes Rumer, Mark Wetzels and Todd Ofenloch, and Chairman Dirk Visser. Egeria has received industry recognition including the 2023 M&A Award for Best Private Equity House Mid-Market and the 2017 NVP ESG Award.
