With its umbrella brand “small but fine”, OUNDA is a leader in traditional optometry and acoustics. The community includes around 110 independent specialist shops throughout Germany (as of January 2023), which have been well established locally for years or even decades, as well as 588 employees. However, all associated companies are explicitly not “small but fine” branches, but part of a traditionally managed group in which the identities and peculiarities of the individual locations are preserved. In addition to the core business of classic ophthalmic optics and hearing acoustics, “small but fine” is increasingly dedicated to niche topics such as optometry or myopia management. At the heart of OUNDA’s growth strategy is continuous M&A activity in a fragmented premium optician market that enables careful selection of high-quality targets.

Holger Grelck Forstbaumschulen is one of the leading German forest nurseries for the cultivation of premium forest seedlings and grows many millions of seedlings annually on more than 100 hectares, on which a wide range of tree species, including sweet chestnut, oak, spruce, service tree and Douglas fir, are nursed. The forest tree nursery has been supplying municipalities, states as well as other nurseries and private forest owners since 1938 and has grown continuously in recent years. Our location in Halstenbek is the largest forest tree nursery region in Germany and is considered the “cradle of the forest” due to the fertile soil and optimal microclimatic conditions.
Forest tree nurseries are an important subgroup of tree nurseries and operate around 12% of Germany’s total tree nursery area. Overall, forest nurseries play a central role in the fight against climate change, as they are an integral part of the reforestation of German forests. At the same time, they enable companies to become more sustainable and achieve climate targets. Demand for seedlings for forestry plants has risen accordingly. The German forest relieves the atmosphere of 62 million tons of CO2 every year.
The aim is to further accelerate the impressive growth of Holger Grelck Forstbaumschulen together with Beyond Capital Partners and to continue its expansion through selective acquisitions.
