Investor profile | Builders Republic
About
Martek is the independent family office of the Katz family, established by entrepreneurs Marcel and René Katz following the success and sale of their industrial group, Martek Power. Operating as an "evergreen" investment holding, Martek invests its own proprietary capital in both Private Equity and Real Estate. The firm acts as a "sparring partner" for management teams, prioritizing human fit and industrial know-how over pure financial engineering, and supporting French SMEs and Mid-caps in their growth, internationalization, and transmission phases.
