STRABAG PFS acquires Bockholdt GmbH & Co. KG

STRABAG PFS strengthens regional customer structure and competence in infrastructural facility management. Acquisition is a further step in the expansion of STRABAG PFS as a provider of integrated facility services.

Frankfurt, 22.12.2022
The STRABAG Property and Facility Services Group (STRABAG PFS) is growing in the infrastructural facility management services segment with the acquisition of the northern German cleaning service provider Bockholdt GmbH & Co. A corresponding purchase agreement was signed on 22.12.2022.

With this acquisition, STRABAG PFS is significantly strengthening its own services volume and its presence in northern Germany. It is thus implementing its strategic goal of providing integrated, high-quality real estate and industrial services in every sector across the board and with a high level of in-house services.

The Lübeck-based family business Bockholdt was founded in 1959 and specializes in the cleaning of buildings, industrial facilities and clinics. With around 3,600 employees, an in-house training academy and 13 locations, Bockholdt is one of the largest and most attractive employers in northern Germany. In addition to maintenance cleaning, its services include innovative services in the field of industrial cleaning, robot-assisted cleaning of ventilation systems and environmentally friendly cleaning of solar and wind power plants, which is carried out by its own industrial climbers. Professional pest control, as well as operating theater and hospital cleaning are also among the specialties of the service portfolio. Gülten Bockholdt, personally liable partner of Bockholdt GmbH & Co. KG:
"I am delighted that the Bockholdt company will now develop holistically in the life cycle of building management. For the employees in particular, this transition means the greatest possible opportunities for further development and future security."

All jobs and locations will be retained. Dr. Marion Henschel, Chairwoman of the Management Board of STRABAG PFS: "We are delighted to welcome the Bockholdt employees to our team. Together we can achieve a lot; they ideally complement our technical core business. At Bockholdt, as at STRAGAG PFS, the focus is on the employees. This proven corporate culture unites the two companies and is a key reason for the acquisition. In particular, we will now be able to better serve customers who require integrated FM services on an in-house basis."

Closing is expected in the first quarter of 2023, subject to the relevant regulatory approvals.
