The Company
Since 2000, ALLEGRA CAPITAL has operated as a private equity firm with a focus on the acquisition of medium-sized corporate subsidiaries in special situations. As a fast, fair and flexible partner for portfolio realignment, ALLEGRA CAPITAL acquires loss-generating subsidiaries, thus freeing the parent company from the cash drain, the burden and the many difficulties caused by the subsidiary.
All steps throughout the entire acquisition process are designed and carried out with a maximum of confidentiality, speed and flexibility.
