European private equity firm IK Partners (IK) has opened a new office in Munich, Germany as part of its ongoing commitment to investing in the DACH region, which will be led by Joachim Dettmar and Adrian Tanski.
Dettmar is a Partner within IK’s Operations Team and Tanski, who has been promoted to Partner, sits within the firm’s Partnership Fund team. Previously based in IK’s Hamburg office, Tanski joined the firm as an Associate Director in the DACH Mid Cap team in 2018, where he was involved in a range of transactions, including the exit of KLINGEL Medical Metal in 2023 as well as the acquisitions of MÜPRO in 2022 and CONET in 2021.
IK’s Partnership Fund strategy was launched in 2019 and targets larger, more established businesses at the higher end of the mid-market. IK invests alongside existing owners or new partners through minority positions.
In addition, IK has made two further Partner promotions: Ingmar Bär, Development Capital Investment Team, in Hamburg; and Alexandra Kazi, Finance and Administration Team, in London.
