The transaction is currently still subject to antitrust approval.
The two current managing partners Uwe Klawiter and Lutz Gäbelein will continue to hold a significant stake in the company. The new majority shareholder SüdBG will support Uwe Klawiter and Lutz Gäbelein in the company's further expansion.
m+m manages various projects throughout Germany in the industrial, research, commercial and real estate sectors. The service profile of the medium-sized company includes the complete execution of the trades heating, cooling, ventilation and sanitary technology as well as renewable energies and the associated control technology.
