B+N Referencia Zrt., present in eight CEE-based markets, has signed an agreement to acquire a controlling stake in Koberl Group, the leading facility management and building services provider in Germany. The transaction is expected to close in Q1 2025. 


Koberl Group has almost 600 employees and offers comprehensive solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial building operators. 

"With the acquisition of the majority stake we aim to further strengthen the Koberl Group's activities in Germany and expand B+N Group's services in the international market, especially in technical and infrastructure facilities management. In recent years, with the support of Gimv, Koberl Group has become a high-performing company, able to respond efficiently and agile to the evolving needs of its customers - just like B+N," said Ferenc Kis-Szölgyémi, Managing Director and owner of B+N Referencia Zrt. 

B+N Referencia Zrt. has nearly 28,000 people and approximately 40 percent of its turnover comes from foreign subsidiaries.
