Eight BayBG companies among Bavaria’s Best 50

Munich — “For years, the award cerem­ony ‘Bavaria’s Best 50’ has also been a proof of BayBG’s perfor­mance,” says Peter Pauli, spokes­man of BayBG’s manage­ment, about the awar­ding of Bavaria’s fastest-growing medium-sized compa­nies. Once again, three current port­fo­lio compa­nies of BayBG were awarded: Medi­cal tech­no­logy specia­list MMM, moun­tain bike manu­fac­tu­rer YT Indus­tries and the Zieg­ler Group (wood industry).

Another five award-winning compa­nies, inclu­ding for exam­ple the Nurem­berg IT company noris network or the Lower Fran­co­nian IFSYS GmbH, were accom­pa­nied on their growth path over a longer period of time with invest­ment capi­tal from BayBG.
Peter Pauli: “Parti­cu­larly in phases of strong growth, equity capi­tal is an important buil­ding block that gives SMEs room to maneu­ver and addi­tio­nal finan­cing poten­tial. A study by Price­wa­ter­hous­e­Coo­pers illus­tra­tes the outstan­ding importance that SMEs attach to equity capi­tal. Accor­ding to this study, 63 percent of family entre­pre­neurs say that equity-finan­­ced compa­nies grow at an above-average rate.”
Bavaria’s Best 50′ is awarded to medium-sized compa­nies that have been able to increase their work­force and sales the most in recent years.
