QINO Group companies were first established in 1999 to pursue the vision of an independent and conflict-free group of companies, which adheres to the highest ethical standards.
In the past, QINO was a group of research, investment and advisory firms specialised in the development of strategic corporate investments, both on a proprietary basis and as a trusted partner for institutional and qualified investors. In 2018, the activities of the Group were streamlined and simplified.
Qino JB Ltd registered in Cyprus under HE 349582 is 100% owned by Josef Blazicek. The company owns majority stakes in Qino Pipe One Ltd, which develops strategic long-term investments in the IT and automotive sector, in Qino Solar One, which owns solar parks in Cyprus, in Qino Management & Advisory Ltd and Qino Engineers AG.
Qino Cyber Capital Ltd (2024 – current): We partnered with Cyverse Capital GmbH and formed Qino Cyber Capital Ltd, to invest in early-stage Israeli cybersecurity companies. Within one day EUR 5m were committed. The company will not only invest but also provide management support services to help companies establish a base in Cyprus to address the EU market.
Qino Energy Ltd (2019 – current); We partnered with NetZeroThink Ltd to develop and operate renewable energy projects in Cyprus and Greece. The company operates two solar parks with a combined capacity of 1.7MW in Cyprus and one in Greece with a capacity of 0.5MW. The company plans to provide battery services in connection with PV parks.
Pankl AG (2015 – current): We won Pierer Industrie AG to become the majority shareholder of Pankl Racing Systems AG. Together a majority stake in SHW AG was built. Both companies were taken private and are held by Pankl AG. The activities of the companies were integrated and significant synergies and growth potentials realised.
All For One Group SE (2013 – current): We assisted first CROSS Industries AG and then UIAG to become majority shareholder. In secondary placements in 2017, we realised a performance of more than 300% and sold our whole direct position in the company amounting to a 10% stake. We remain invested via our 20% stake in UIAG Informatik Holding GmbH which in turn holds 25% of the company. We continue to have supervisory board representation and work actively with UIAG to develop this company.
