The company
Specialized engineering firm for construction materials technology, concrete testing, and structural diagnostics, with its own laboratory. Testing of construction materials and existing structures, damage analysis, repair assessments, and on-site quality assurance.
At the time of the acquisition, the company had a profit margin of around 25%.
Background
The former owner, who founded the company in 1997, was facing the question of succession.
We contractually agreed on a twelve-month transition period to allow enough room for unforeseen circumstances.
Timeline
The handover
For the operational succession, we recruited a new managing director.
We planned three months for his onboarding, with both the outgoing and the new managing director on the payroll. His onboarding was completed after just two months.
At his own request, the former owner remains with the company part-time.
Since the acquisition
Location and company name have remained unchanged. The team has grown.
German Construction Group
Clarity of goal over micromanagement.
Freedom to act over approval loops.
Courage over playing it safe.
Backing over scapegoating.
