Industry, Energy & Infrastructure
Our perspective
Industrial, energy and infrastructure organisations rest on assets that balance sheets barely show: operational know-how, long-term contracts, networks of strategic subcontractors, dependency on a few key people. Their robustness decides their capacity to invest, to raise financing and to be transferred.
Three issues return at every cycle: the energy and digital transition of sites, the security and resilience of operating systems (NIS2), and the succession of leaders and know-how holders. Whether opening a site, scaling up, turning around an activity, acquiring a competitor or transferring the company, Aegryn helps decide, then steers the project with your operations, technology and leadership teams through to implementation.

Our applied expertise
Consolidation, transition & industrial model
Positioning in consolidation waves (energy, logistics, agri-food), investment choices (site, capacity, electrification), executive governance, planning of industrial and digital transition. Deliverable: four-test grid applied to the options, and a 12-18 month plan.
Sector compliance & operational continuity
Mapping of applicable requirements (NIS2, EU ETS, REACH, ISO standards, customs and transport, export controls), site security, operational continuity and recovery plan, preparation for audits and inspections. Deliverable: "applies now / soon / not concerned" map and prioritised remediation plan.
Industrial systems, operational data & sovereignty
Industry 4.0 architecture, MES/ERP integration, predictive maintenance, cybersecurity of operating systems, critical integrators and providers with exit plan, sovereignty of industrial data. Custom tools only when the market does not offer them. Deliverable: reversibility test and quantified trade-off.
Know-how, succession & operational leadership
Site directors, quality and safety officers, technical directors, transfer of know-how from key holders, family or managerial succession. Deliverable: job description, shortlisted profiles, succession plan.
Acquisition, succession & sale of industrial mid-caps
Review of a target before the offer: order book, long-term contracts and change-of-control clauses, site condition and environmental liabilities, dependency on subcontractors and key people. Family succession, sale to a fund or an industrial buyer, then integration. CIFSO 5000 certification remains available in support. Deliverable: proposed treatment for each point (price, warranty, suspensive condition) and a milestone-based integration or transfer plan. Execution remains with your investment bank and your lawyers.
Available individually, or combined into a programme we steer.
How we support our clients
Three typical profiles, three concrete situations.
Industrial mid-caps & SMEs: Growth and Succession cycles
“You run an industrial mid-cap in Switzerland or Europe. Succession is approaching: family, a fund or an industrial buyer. Know-how, long-term contracts and subcontractor dependencies live in a few heads, and banks and acquirers alike are asking questions.”
What we steer
- Choose the succession path (family, fund, industrial buyer) and its timeline → written trade-off, with the consequences of each option.
- Make the company transferable: key processes, dependencies on people and subcontractors → dependency map and reduction plan.
- Prepare the leadership succession → 24-month succession plan.
PE & infrastructure funds: Acquisition (Takeover) cycle
“You are investing in an industrial or infrastructure target in Europe. Know-how, supplier contracts, key people and proprietary processes are difficult to audit, and the condition of the sites weighs on the price.”
What we steer
- Screen the target: contracts, dependency on key people, site condition, compliance (NIS2, environment) → proposed treatment for each point: price, warranty, suspensive condition.
- Prepare the integration and the first 100 days → milestone-based integration plan.
- Secure the target's leadership succession → 24-month retention and succession plan.
Energy & utility operators: Growth and Restructuring cycles
“You manage critical infrastructure assets: smart grid, renewable generation, distribution networks. Your regulators expect proof of resilience, your financiers expect ESG documentation, and your digital platforms depend on a few providers.”
What we steer
- Demonstrate operational resilience to the regulator (NIS2, sector requirements) → 12-month remediation plan and tracking for the executive committee.
- Map critical providers and platforms and prepare their exit plan → dependency register and exit plan per provider.
- Build the financing case (green bond, infrastructure fund) → investment plan and ESG tracking indicators.
Transaction execution remains with your investment bank or your lawyers.
