Restructuring of industrial enterprises
Expandia has a professional team in the field of design and implementation of financial, product and management restructuring of the companies. We have also worked on projects involving streamlining product portfolios, cost reductions and improvement of balance sheet strength subsequently resulting in boosting competitive strength of the companies.
In some companies Expandia stays as the shareholder after the restructuring and provides further support to their development (e.g. GUMOTEX group). In other cases, we subsequently sold these restructured companies to strategic investors that could further implement wider group synergies (e.g. companies Vigona, TON, Desk-Form).
Financial Services Sector
In 1997, Expandia successfully launched a project of the first electronic bank in Central Europe called Expandia Banka (later on eBanka). Expandia Banka specialised in provision of direct and internet banking services. The successful project had won many satisfied clients as well as a number of domestic and international prestigious awards.
The Expandia group also became one of the founders of the Koruna pension fund in 1995, which gained in its first 4 years of existence over 100 thousands of subscribers and ranked among the TOP 10 largest funds of voluntary supplementary pension insurance in the Czech Republic.
Development of privatization fund management and the securities funds sector
The investment company Expandia in the Czech Republic and Expandia Invest Croatia attracted more than 400,000 investors and were among the most successful funds in their respective regions. As a part of change in the strategy, more towards private equity, Expandia later-on sold its investment funds ventures. In the fund and asset management sector Expandia continues to operate through its group company ARBES Technologies, a.s. that provides specialized software solutions to banks, investment funds and asset management companies.
