Winterberg Advisory GmbH has announced the closing of Winterberg Investment X, oversubscribed at its hard cap of €35 million, exceeding its initial target range of €20–25 million. The fund, advised by Winterberg, will continue building TIC Holding Schweiz AG, a buy-and-build platform in Switzerland’s accredited testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) sector.
The platform, co-founded with Yana Investment Partners, has already acquired Metron Measurement SA and TransGeo AG, with a third acquisition imminent. TIC Holding provides calibration, material testing, and inspection services to regulated industrial sectors. The fund plans further acquisitions of small and mid-sized Swiss companies, targeting succession solutions in a highly resilient, compliance-driven industry.
