Coffee-Can Portfolio: Micro Cap Serial Acquirer wit Excellent Management
54% Ownership. Revenue 24% CAGR. Near 0 LT debt.
I am hyped to share today’s company with you. It checks all the boxes!
It is a fast-growing micro-cap with a clear direction, and it has the management to execute it. Founded in 2006, it has spent nearly 2 decades building businesses in niches that larger players have ignored.
The company is the right investment for a coffee-can portfolio. Here is why:
The core business delivers spare parts to maintenance & repair technicians overnight, straight into their vans by 7am. The company built the network from scratch and remains the only operator of its kind in Italy. On top of that, it provides value-added services that save technicians even more time.
The big growth story comes from another business unit. It operates in the HVAC service industry. The market is deeply fragmented, with no regional or national player in sight. The company is a serial acquirer and has already taken 13 businesses under its wing since the start in 2023. Revenue from this unit alone is on track to surpass the original business in 2026.
The founders run the company, but it isn’t founder dependent, which is unique for micro-cap companies. Management is transparent and admits mistakes openly in the shareholder letters. Their capital allocation is on par.
This kind of discipline from the founders and management is rare in a company this size.
