In our portfolio we combine most diverse assets: cash equivalents, real estate, private equities, and venture capitals. While each of these is equally important for stability, direct investments in SME remain our key focus area.
Our rich practical experience, spanning decades, comes from running a Polish company, scaling it up, and expanding internationally. We successfully brought it from an annual turnover of PLN 1M to today’s 240M, achieved with 250+ employees domestically and abroad.
We are a family-operated investment fund, born from the success of automotive spare parts distributor VanKing (previously known as Celkar).
The company has already gone through top-level management succession, twice. We have created a governance framework, with independent Supervisory Board, making this family business what it stands for right now: fully professionalised and performing greatwithout having to rely on its actual owners.
The deep, real-life knowledge of these processes allows us, as investors-partners, to help new projects thrive
We invest in trading and manufacturing companies in Poland that display promising outlooks but at the same time strive to overcome certain obstacles—especially scaling- or succesion-wise.
ur expertise is based on nearly 20 years of building and professionalising family businesses; of scaling operations in ways that guarantee an increasing company’s worth.
Thanks to adequate capital reserves, business networks, and structures in which various experts are involved (such as senior accountants, lawyers, and HR specialists), we are able to make sure our investments translate into plans that succeed indeed.
Essential importance is attached to the selection of pursuits where Amarant engages financially and strategically. Whenever we embark on an investment project, it develops well right from the start.
Once a business undertaking has the Amarant Capital Family Office as investor-partner, we give it our undivided attention. Our own brand comes second then, not first: thus the project’s originators know they can count on our promise and pledge.
When we invest, we take it personally—in that each and every step is mindful and deliberate. No risks are taken without appropriate, effective precautions. Consequently, progress is foreseeable and returns materialise as expected.
