R+S Group from Fulda sold: VINCI Energies strengthens itself in the market!
A lot is happening in the energy sector: The NOKERA Group has sealed the sale of the R+S Group to VINCI Energies Germany. This move could have far-reaching implications for the industry and is already generating conversation and excitement. All five operating subsidiaries of the R+S Group, which employ a total of around 1,200 people, will in future be part of the VINCI Energies Building Solutions network. However, the purchase price remains confidential, as fuldaerzeitung.de reports.
Hubertus Berberich, Managing Director of the R+S Group, sees the integration into the VINCI family as an opportunity for future growth. “We have great potential for future business development,” says Berberich. Nothing will change for the employees of the R+S Group for the time being, which is certainly a relief for many. However, the transaction is still subject to the approval of the antitrust authorities, which, according to current information, is expected by August 31, 2025, as osthessen-news.de informed.
Strategic realignment
The decision to make this sale is part of a broader strategic perspective. NOKERA and VINCI Energies aim to expand their cooperation, particularly in the area of infrastructure. These include, among other things, PPP projects that include the construction of schools and employee housing for military organizations. In addition, the R+S Group remains a partner of NOKERA AG in the construction of residential buildings using serial timber construction. This could be the key for future joint projects.
VINCI Energies itself is no stranger to the market. With around 102,600 employees in 61 countries and an impressive annual turnover of 20.4 billion euros (2024), the company has firmly established its market strength in the areas of power supply, electrical and automation solutions as well as facility management. In Germany alone, VINCI employs around 16,576 people at over 358 locations and generated sales of 3.7 billion euros in 2024.
M&A in the energy sector
The importance of such transactions in the energy sector cannot be underestimated. Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) play a crucial role in the transformation towards sustainable energy systems. According to the experts at energierechtler.de, such acquisitions are often strategically important in order to consolidate market participants and promote innovation. As part of the desired decarbonization, investments in renewable energies and modern technologies are not only an opportunity, but also a necessity.
It appears that VINCI Energies Germany and its new subsidiaries plan to strengthen their competencies, particularly in the area of electrical solutions, and to offer a combined offer of mechanical and electrical services. This sounds like an exciting time for the R+S Group and the employees in Fulda! With these next steps, the company has the opportunity to position itself as a leading technology and energy service provider for private, commercial and industrial customers.
