Qualitas Funds is pleased to announce the successful sale of GarLa Gruppe, one of the portfolio companies of Qualitas Funds II. The sale was successfully executed by one of their German managers and resulted in a gross return of 2.2x invested capital and a gross IRR of 50% for Qualitas Funds II investors.

GarLa Gruppe is a leading high-quality gardening and landscaping group in German-speaking Switzerland and Southern Germany. The company has 16 sites and employs over 650 people, with a platform built around regional hubs that share machines, workforce, and procurement services. Its expertise is in private gardens, parks, residential projects, municipal and corporate projects, natural pool facilities and swimming ponds.

During the holding period GarLa generated recurring revenues from a diversified set of blue-chip customers driven by the extensive scope of its service offering. The company expanded into the German market in 2022 with a focus on large-scale projects for public and corporate customers, and later private customers. The company is well positioned to continue consolidating the gardening and landscaping market within the DACH region through an active buy-and-build strategy.
