Mubadala Investment Company, a global investment firm based in Abu Dhabi, has entered into an agreement to acquire a minority stake in Apleona, a prominent European provider of integrated facility management based in Neu-Isenburg near Frankfurt (Germany).
The investment is alongside a consortium led by Bain Capital’s Private Equity team in Europe that will support Apleona’s continued growth and development, reinforcing its position as a leading European integrated facility management group.
Zouhir Regragui, Head of Industrials & Business Services at Mubadala, commented that, “We are pleased to announce our investment in Apleona, a market leader in the real estate and technical facility management industry, alongside one of our key partners Bain Capital. We look forward to working closely with Dr. Jochen Keysberg and Apleona’s management team and supporting them in the next chapter of their growth story.”
As a premier integrated facility manager with market-leading technical expertise and international footprint, Apleona offers high-quality, cutting-edge services to regional and large, cross-border customers, catering to the surging demand for ESG solutions and products that reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions in buildings.
Apleona is also expanding its European platform and driving the digital transformation of its services, for example by investing in data and AI-based control systems for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and predictive maintenance of building technology.
As part of this strategy, Apleona has acquired and successfully integrated 14 strategic acquisitions in Europe, including the transformational acquisition of Gegenbauer Group in 2023. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals.
