S&B Strategy advises HomeServe Germany on the acquisition of the Sturm Group (Sturm Sanitär- und Heizungstechnik GmbH, Sturm Neue Energie GmbH and Schulz GmbH)
Our team advised HomeServe Germany, a subsidiary of the international HomeServe PLC, on the acquisition of the Sturm Group. The transaction was signed in November 2022.
HomeServe is one of the leading HVAC trade groups with a focus on private end customers and residential construction. With a presence in eight countries and a total of around 9,000 employees, HomeServe focuses on actively strengthening trade companies in the respective regions by bundling central functions. This allows the companies to concentrate on consulting, installation and service in the HVAC and electrical trades. With this acquisition, HomeServe is expanding its presence to the greater Stuttgart area.
The Sturm Group is a renowned provider of sanitary, heating and air conditioning and photovoltaic services for private end customers and residential construction. The company has built up an excellent reputation for expertise and quality. The takeover secures Sturm’s succession in the long term and at the same time lays the foundation for expansion in the greater Stuttgart area.
Our team supported HomeServe comprehensively as lead M&A advisor throughout the entire acquisition process up to the successful signing as well as with an operational due diligence.
