Ownership

Who owns SEU.

The SEU holding is entrepreneur-owned. Its shareholders include the entrepreneurs who built HMQ into today's group, owners whose companies join the group, and key people and employees from those companies who hold shares through the employee share program. They are joined by private shareholders with a long-term outlook. SEU is not an anonymous fund. Owners who sell to SEU know who they are working with.

Values and identity

What we stand for.

Honest communication.

We speak openly about opportunities, limitations, and next steps. Trust comes from clarity and keeping commitments.

Engineers for engineers.

Franco Quinter and Christian Vetsch helped build HMQ as entrepreneurs. We understand the day-to-day realities of running engineering firms from our own experience.

Company independence.

We set standards where they are needed: IT security, reporting, and transparency across the group. Day-to-day operations stay close to the market, clients, and projects.

Long-term thinking.

We plan for the long term. We focus on sound fundamentals, integration, and healthy growth. The group grows step by step.

Let's discuss your next step confidentially.

Whether you want to discuss succession, share ownership, integration, or the role of your key people, a personal conversation can quickly identify the right contact at SEU.
