Dipterus was founded with the belief that the principles of resilience and adaptability, exemplified by the ancient fish from which we take our name, are crucial in today’s rapidly changing world. Established to manage and grow a diverse portfolio of ventures, Dipterus has evolved into a dynamic holding company that leverages deep connections in both Eastern and Western markets. Our journey began with a single investment in Vello, a pioneering startup in the building materials industry, and has since expanded to include a wide range of assets, brands, and services that reflect our commitment to sustainable growth and global impact.
