This yields economies of scale and forces them to sail close to the wind on the basis of a concrete strategy. Family-owned companies invest with a view to future generations and show courage in markets where the business case is not yet crystal clear. In the high-tech chain around ASML, more than 80 percent of the suppliers are now (partly) PE-financed, while an estimated 40 percent of the entire Dutch manufacturing industry remains family-owned.   <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The financial analysis of the Makers top 100 shows that both forms of ownership can be successful side by side from two different visions. Private equity professionalizes and consolidates; family businesses guard entrepreneurship and long-term innovation. The future calls for a balanced mix of return and vision &#8211; a conclusion that fits perfectly with Gwynt&#8217;s conviction that sustainable growth occurs when structure and entrepreneurship are jointly developed within the (family) business.  <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Article in Link Magazine by Wouter den<\/em><em><em>Ottelander, with co-author Dirk<\/em><em><em>Harm<\/em><em><em>Eijssen (Gwynt).<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n<p>You can read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/linkmagazine.nl\/makers-top-100-familiebedrijven-en-private-equities-drukken-ieder-eigen-stempel-op-de-maakindustrie\/?v=1a13105b7e4e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Want to know more about this topic?
