Munich, May 6, 2025 - YPOG advised the investment firm Capmont on the acquisition of DFH Fertighaus Holding AG and its subsidiaries (“DFH”) on the acquisition structuring. The transaction was carried out as a leveraged buyout.
Through this acquisition, Capmont enters a dynamic market environment. The growing demand for affordable and resource-efficient housing is driving interest in industrially manufactured and scalable construction solutions.
DFH is the leading provider in Germany’s prefabricated housing sector. With around 1,500 employees and three production sites in Germany and the Czech Republic, the group operates under established brands such as Massa, Allkauf, OKAL, Einsteinhaus, and DFH Wohnungsbau, serving a wide range of customers. Its vertically integrated business model, high level of in-house manufacturing, and nationwide sales network make DFH a key player in serial residential construction.
The market share of prefabricated homes in Germany has been rising steadily for years, reaching a record 26% of all approved building permits in 2024. In a challenging real estate market, the segment has proven to be particularly resilient.
With this acquisition, Capmont lays the foundation for the next growth phase of the DFH group – aiming to unlock further potential in sustainable and scalable residential construction.
