Our Origin

2010 was the founding year of Serafin. It started as a diverse industrial focused company group out of Munich. More than 10 years later, the non-industrial ventures were launched with the founding of Night Train Media, followed by Serafin Asset Management and the private equity company Sevest.

The Haindl family's
entrepreneurial spirit
The Serafin shareholder family sold Haindl Papier in 2001. For 150 years, the family exclusively owned the company, which grew to become Germany's largest paper manufacturer with €1.6 billion in sales and a workforce of 4,000 employees.

Serafin Group, the industrial core
Beginning in 2010, Philipp Haindl, together with his Co-Founders, cultivated a diverse industry group with a combined revenue of over 1 billion EUR and 4,500 employees.

SeraVerse  - the venture universe
SeraVerse adapted the Serafin investment and value creation approach to non-industrial businesses. The journey started with the investment into Night Train Media in 2020. The expansion into the financial industry started in 2020/2021 with the establishment of Serafin Asset Management, followed by the launch of Sevest, a private equity fund, in 2022. As of 2023, SeraVerse serves as an umbrella for all of Philipp Haindl's non-industrial ventures.
