Who is CONSTELLATION
CONSTELLATION as Partner
In many markets, including the packaging industry, small and medium-sized companies are under intense pressure: fragmented structures, intense competition, and growing demands make it difficult for them to survive on their own. This is precisely the environment in which CONSTELLATION operates.
CONSTELLATION is backed by a majority of entrepreneurs from Switzerland and Germany who invest for long-term development rather than short-term profits.
With this approach, CONSTELLATION has built up the ARCA Group. The collaboration is characterized by trust, vision, and the conviction that sustainable success can only be achieved by working closely with the industry.
On equal footing with entrepreneurs
CONSTELLATION as founder of ARCA
CONSTELLATION goes beyond the role of an investor and acts as a temporary entrepreneurial sparring partner. From the outset, it was clear that building up corporate groups such as ARCA could only work in collaboration with the people who have shaped this industry for years.
CONSTELLATION’s philosophy is characterized by respect for entrepreneurial achievement and the desire to work on an equal footing with decision-makers. It is not about imposing structures, but about developing perspectives together.
As the founder of the ARCA Group, CONSTELLATION has put this claim into practice. Instead of controlling from the outside, the group was built from the inside, together with entrepreneurs who know what matters. This attitude continues to shape the collaboration to this day and is a central building block for the trust that ARCA enjoys in the industry.
Rainer Fröhlich, founder of CONSTELLATION Capital AG, explains what makes successful corporate groups tick.
The CONSTELLATION VI Fund (C6)
CONSTELLATION’s investments always pursue a long-term perspective with the aim of becoming the market leader in a specific niche, as is the case with ARCA. This growth is provided by the CONSTELLATION VI fund (C6), which is designed for the long term with the aim of establishing stable, sustainable structures. The focus is on developing a strong network whose value is created through cooperation, synergies, and a joint market presence.
Responsibility is also a key consideration in the event of a possible withdrawal from C6 funds. The transition to new owners is planned with foresight, always with the aim of ensuring continuity and the long-term development of the group. Entrepreneurs who join the ARCA Group can rely on this and also make a financial commitment themselves, thereby helping to shape the direction of the group.
A plan for generations, not quarters.
CONSTELLATION’s C6 fund was crucial in establishing the group and getting it on track, but it is not intended to be a permanent ownership structure. CONSTELLATION is therefore already supporting ARCA in creating an independent and sustainable long-term structure.
For the companies in the network, this means planning security, prospects, and an environment in which they can concentrate on what matters: their own business, their own employees, and the collective strength of the network. Because for us, value creation does not come from transactions, but from development.
