HLD Group is an investment group created by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs. HLD was founded by Jean-Bernard Lafonta, Jean-Philippe Hecketsweiler and Philippe Donnet. This project was born out of their desire to provide European companies in all sectors with long-term support. Since 2010, several top entrepreneurs have joined the project as shareholders. Since then, HLD has been investing in companies as true partners, with the desire to support their growth in- and outside Europe over the long term, to bolster their leading position. HLD is investing up to € 500 Mio. in equity per company, with no restrictions on duration. The capacity to invest without a time horizon is essential for fostering the development of the companies supported by HLD. New shareholders from other European countries have joined the historical investors. Together, they put their experience and know-how at the service of the entrepreneurs being supported by HLD. The Group has five teams in different European cities: Luxembourg, Amsterdam, Milan, Paris and Zurich.
