AUCTUS invests in Rossmanith GmbH & Co. KG

AUCTUS is pleased to announce the conclusion of a strategic partnership with Rossmanith GmbH & Co KG (“Rossmanith”). Rossmanith, headquartered in Heidelberg, was founded in 1947 and has established itself in the region and beyond as a reliable, integrated façade manufacturer for the entire building envelope. The main customers are primarily larger industrial companies and public sector bodies. Rossmanith becomes the platform company for a new façade construction group that implements the highest architectural standards and emission-reducing measures in a holistic manner.

Rossmanith is known on the market for the development and construction of sophisticated window and façade constructions in metal and wood-metal, an aesthetically pleasing, sustainable and trendy combination of materials. The façades are produced in a newly built, highly functional production hall directly in Heidelberg, where the company also trains its future junior staff. Several trainees have already been awarded prizes by the Chamber of Crafts at regional and state level. Rossmanith’s strong focus on quality is reflected in its involvement in numerous award-winning projects, such as the construction of a factory-prefabricated mullion-transom façade made of wood-aluminum at the DAV federal office (winner of the German Timber Construction Award 2023)

The German façade construction and building market is characterized by many small and medium-sized, often family-run companies, many of which have a long-standing industry network, high-quality niche focus and excellently trained specialists. “Sustainable façade construction will play a decisive role in the energy transition, in which buildings are at the center of attention due to their high (direct and indirect) emissions,” says Marvin Aurnhammer from AUCTUS, explaining the investment decision. With Rossmanith as its initial investment, AUCTUS plans to build up an integrated group of high-performance façade builders with a high level of material and planning expertise that can meet these requirements and offer its customers the highest quality. “Germany has first-class expertise in the field of innovative façade systems worldwide, which we will use to counter the increased complexity in façade construction,” adds Florian Aichinger, who will play a key role in supporting the international expansion strategy.

The Group’s regional focus is on the DACH region and neighboring European regions, particularly Italy and Eastern Europe. Relevant target companies construct entire building envelopes and façade systems (mullion-transom façades and unitized façades) with their own production capacities and stand for quality, reliability, sustainability and innovation. Ideally, the target companies generate an EBITDA > EUR 2 million.
