PERMANENT CAPITAL FOR ITALIAN SME
We safeguard the value built over a lifetime. And write its next chapter.
We invest in Italian companies to support them over time
Stelvio Capital Partners stands alongside entrepreneurs who want to secure their company’s long-term future and lasting continuity. We acquire majority stakes in small and medium enterprises with consolidated, resilient revenues, in order to develop them and unlock their full potential over the long term.
We are not a private equity fund. We do not organize club deals. We do not buy to resell. We come in as stable shareholders with our own permanent capital and an open-ended horizon, to develop each company to its full potential while honoring its identity, its history and the values that have made it what it is.
How we invest
We invest primarily our own capital, not that of third parties. We do not answer to outside investors or short-term logic: every decision directly commits our own wealth and our personal responsibility. Ours is an entrepreneurial approach, made of presence, of one’s word kept, and of time spent. When an entrepreneur entrusts us with their company, we become its custodians: we commit to preserving its identity, its people and its values, accompanying its growth with the same care of those who built it.
That is why we offer a succession path that is clear, respectful, and oriented toward long-term growth. We work without intermediaries, in a direct and confidential dialogue with the entrepreneur, in the conviction that every transaction requires discretion, attentive listening, and the time needed to truly understand each other. Before the numbers come the people, the stories and the relationships: that is where decisions that last over time are born.
Revenue €15–€100M
The right size to step in as real partners, not just a number in a portfolio. Companies with solid roots and room to take the next step.
Stable and profitable
We like businesses that have weathered cycles and seasons, with clean books and healthy margins. A sign that, over time, something truly works.
Northern Italy
We know the entrepreneurial landscape of Northern Italy — its territories, people and ways of working — supported by a broad network of contacts.
Durable business models
No passing trends. We look for businesses with favourable macro trends, real needs and the strength to keep growing for decades to come.
Our companies
We select a small number of Italian companies: realities of excellence in their respective sectors, with the solidity and positioning to become aggregation hubs of their market.
The technical reference point of Trentino-Alto Adige
Founded in 1984 in Egna, in the province of Bolzano, Silmar is a South Tyrolean company with over 40 years of history. It operates with a strong technical orientation and is a reference point for the cleaning machinery and workshop equipment sectors across the region.
Since joining in 2023, we have supported the company through a new phase of growth: a new CEO, a strong acceleration of digitalisation, a renewal of the corporate identity, and continuous investments in people and structure. The result is significant revenue growth.
Italian excellence in home and hospitality textiles
Galtex is an Italian excellence in textiles for the home and hospitality sector, based in Trento with over 70 years of history. Market leader in the Italian duvet segment with the Daunex brand, it has built over time a reputation for quality and a deeply rooted distribution network.
We acquired the company in 2026 with the aim of developing it over the long term, investing in digitalisation and internationalisation, with a particular focus on people and on the organisational structure that will support the next phase of growth.
