History


Oriens was established in 2007. The core of the founding team, Krisztián Orbán, Flóra Macher, and Zsuzsa Delikát, has worked together ever since. Throughout the early years, we could rely on the immeasurable support of Ambassador George Herbert Walker, without whom there would be no Oriens today. We were also privileged to count on the financial and moral support of Peter Holtzer and the advice of John C. Whitehead.

Since 2010, Oriens has been acquiring medium-sized companies in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary and turned them into successful large ones. We have lifted these companies over the inflection point between a personality-led organization and an institutionalized one. We have thus debottlenecked the companies and facilitated their fast growth.

Currently, we own nine companies, all of which are considerably bigger than upon acquisition. We are also proud that all of the original owners are happy with the development of their former company.

Team


We pride ourselves on being intellectually honest, open to learning from others and speaking our minds. Also, we are all down-to-earth people who do not shy away from some supposedly low-value-added work. In short, we are owners, not professional service providers.

Investment Strategy


Oriens acquires 100% stakes in companies with a strong market position. We tend to take over from retiring owners who want to make sure that their companies have a stable and independent future, which also protects their employees. Oriens solidifies these companies’ systems and processes and places them on a path of organic growth as well as acquisitions.

Investment Criteria


  • Full buy-out (100%)
  • Sales of at least EUR 10m and up to EUR 100m
  • EBITDA of at least EUR 2m and up to EUR 15m

Historically, we have purchased companies both below and above these thresholds, and will continue to do so if there is a strong strategic fit with our plans.

Environmental, Social, Governance


Oriens, as a leading investor in the Central Eastern European region, has the responsibility to invest in companies which positively contribute to global sustainability goals. To enable this, sustainability goals are well integrated into all phases of our investment processes. Oriens considers ESG criteria and sustainability opportunities in the initial phase of the investment process and we incorporate these factors in our due diligence processes as well. Regular post-investment monitoring is also an important part of our responsible investment activities.

Showing our commitment to sustainability issues, Oriens became a PRI signatory in 2021.

Career


About Oriens

Oriens is a leading investment firm with activities in Germany, the Czech Republic, Poland, and Hungary, supported by some of the most prestigious international institutional investors. Our private equity funds have delivered industry beating returns by taking full control in established companies valued at around EUR 15-30 million and making them grow.

The Oriens Summer Internship

Oriens is launching a summer internship program for Bachelor’s and Master’s students in finance, business, and economics. This short and comprehensive program offers a hands-on introduction to the role of a private equity analyst.

Over two months during the summer break, interns get to know both sides of a hands-on private equity fund: work in the HQ on fund related matters and at the portfolio companies on ownership tasks. They research new investment opportunities, work directly with portfolio companies’ management on strategic projects, build a strong understanding of the fundamentals of private markets, and engage in direct discussions with Oriens’ managing partner.

Program structure:
  • First week: onboarding at our Budapest office (accommodation provided for expats),
  • Weeks 2-8:
    • 2 days/week at either the Prague or the Budapest office, working on research tasks, taking part in knowledge building initiatives,
    • 3 days/week at one portfolio company, where the intern will be assigned to work on an ongoing strategic project.
  • Mentoring: each intern’s work will be directly managed by a senior colleague for personal advancement, alongside a biweekly meeting with the managing partner.
  • Top performers: may get an offer to the Oriens Private Equity Rotation Program (PER). The PER is an exceptional rotation program that takes analysts and later associates through every stage of the private equity job, while giving them insight into multiple industries, countries, and the full investment life cycle.
The ideal candidate:
  • Is enrolled at a leading university to a bachelor’s or master’s degree program in business, economics or finance,
  • possesses strong analytical and quantitative skills,
  • has excellent verbal and written communication skills in either:

Oriens is one of the leading investment firms in Central Eastern Europe with activities in Budapest and Prague. Our private equity funds invest in established companies and enable them to grow very fast.

Oriens is a unique place to work in many respects. First and foremost, it offers an exceptional learning opportunity for people interested in private equity in the region. Being selective to the extremes, we invest in a few companies only and spend a great deal of our time ensuring they become professional, efficient corporations. These companies have so far delivered a spotless record of world class returns. Second, we offer a special blend of local decision-making and Western professionalism. In most companies, one needs to decide whether he/she wants to work in a multinational environment or be close to actual strategic investment decisions. We make no compromises in either.
