Investment Group
We are a family office investment group driving strategic investments that create long-term value. Headquartered in the Czech Republic, we seek commodity-linked industrial opportunities in special situations that require restructuring or capital support across various industries and geographies. We combine fast decision-making, flexibility, and deep industry expertise. Our beneficiary is Pavel Tykač, a prominent Czech entrepreneur and investor.
Proven Expertise
We seek, value and nourish talent. Our team of more than 50 tenacious professionals across M&A, market analysis and business operations identify, execute, and integrate landmark acquisitions with a global reach.
We combine operational focus with disciplined risk and liquidity management across our portfolio.
People are our key assets. Across our global network of offices, we provide in-house expertise to run and improve operations and scale businesses for the long-term.
Diverse Portfolio
Since 2018 within the Sev.en Group and, since 2021, under the Sev.en Global Investments umbrella, we have built a diversified portfolio combining stable power generation assets with strategic investments to steel, production, mining rights, and recourse mining and processing.
We actively seek opportunities also in oil and gas, and the fertilizer production. Our diversified portfolio supports stable performance despite short-term commodity price volatility.
Our operations span American, Australian and European continents, while we are open to explore investment opportunities also in other regions. We run assets to the highest safety standards, complying with legal, social and environmental requirements in every country we operate in.
Astute Approach
Committed to long-term investing, we deploy our private capital into higher risk opportunities offering risk-adjusted returns.
We often find opportunities in areas where institutional investors reduce their exposure or face ESG constraints, yet these areas remain vital to our economies.
As a responsible owner and a reliable partner, we combine fast decision-making, flexibility, and deep industry expertise to create value for communities, governments, and other stakeholders.
Our businesses operate independently under their own management teams. We provide support where it adds value and share expertise across the group where relevant.
We bridge today’s industrial needs with tomorrow’s solutions.
We build strong and resilient businesses ready for future challenges.
By deploying capital with a long-term vision, we focus on fostering sustainable growth, driving operational efficiency, and enhancing business resilience. Our approach balances strong internal funding with a disciplined strategy toward risk and liquidity management, ensuring that the businesses we invest in are well positioned for future success.
"In 2025, Sev.en Global Investments took a major step forward by entering steelmaking industry and expanding into a new region, the Nordics. Through 7 Steel UK and 7 Steel Nordic, we acquired European leaders in low-carbon steel production showcasing the sustainability in the steel industry.
In Australia, SO4 delivered a breakthrough year. As the country’s only producer of premium organic fertilizer, the team moved from development to commercial execution and launched export shipments to Mexico, Peru, Spain, Ecuador, and Chile.
Also in Australia, Delta, owner and operator of the Vales Point Power Station in NSW, partnered with Samsung to explore a large-scale battery project, designed to strengthen the grid, improve reliability, and help manage supply volatility as renewables expand.
From power generation and resources mining to steelmaking, our progress depends on capable teams and strong execution. I am grateful for the professionalism and relentless drive for value our teams bring every day."

In resources mining and processing, we are a responsible partner in critical resources, delivering high quality primary materials. We are reliable operator, prioritizing safety, efficiency, and highest environmental and reclamation standards.
In green industries, we invest in projects that move value chains forward, combining sustainability and future ready industrial practices.
Long-term

Long-term approach shapes everything we do. We focus on steady operations rather than quick flips. Working with local management teams, we build on long-standing cooperation and look for practical synergies across our group.
We protect and create employment in the respective regions, acting fairly and valuing loyalty in enduring relationships with employees, communities, and all local stakeholders.
Delivering strategic commodities, we are a reliable partner to local governments and businesses.
Enduring Financial Power
We are a long-term, reinvestment driven owner focused on building sustainable value rather than short term dividend extraction. Our typical equity investment ticket is EUR up to 1bn, our private funds allow us to deploy capital quickly and efficiently.
We have the capacity to deploy significant capex to enhance asset performance. Internally generated cash flows are reinvested to grow and develop our existing businesses.
We maintain a conservative and balanced capital structure, with limited leverage at the holding level. External financing is structured primarily at the asset level, aligned with the specific needs and cash flows of each business.
We actively manage liquidity and liquidity risks across the portfolio, with a disciplined approach to risk oversight and operational delivery in industrial assets.

Main Vehicle For
International
Growth
International expansion of Sev.en started in 2019 with the first major step being a purchase of the 50% interest in InterGen N.V. with assets in the UK and Australia.
In 2020, we continued with acquisitions of metallurgical coal producers in the United States including Blackhawk Mining and Corsa Coal Corp.
In 2021, the group acquired several portfolios of mining rights and land in the United States under the umbrella of Golden Eagle Land Company, which triggered a separate investment category focus.
Over the last three years these international acquisitions were consolidated under the Sev.en Global Investments group with the objective to further strengthen the investment focus and widen the acquisition scope to other sectors and regions.
At the end of 2021, Sev.en Global Investments became the family office main vehicle for international investments and business development.
In 2022, Sev.en Global Investments strengthened its energy generation business in Australia by acquiring a 100% share of Delta Electricity which owns and operates the coal-fired Vales Point Power Station and the Chain Valley Colliery mining complex in New South Wales.
In addition, Sev.en GI has expanded its sector presence to minerals by acquiring a 100% share in Australia Salt Lake Potash, the operating subsidiary of Salt Lake Potash (SO4), developing the flagship Lake Way potash project in Western Australia with planned production of over 200,000 tons per annum of potassium-based fertilizers.
In 2023, we have successfully divested our investment in InterGen UK assets and have further expanded our portfolios of land and mineral mining rights both in the United States (Golden Eagle Land Company) and in Australia (Sev.en Royalties).
And we also welcomed one of the largest independent power producers in the United Kingdom to our portfolio. We managed to complete the transaction of a 100% stake in InterGen UK, which operates four gas-fired power plants.
