Carlsquare advised Mr. Steffen Seidler, sole shareholder of the MRA Group, on the partial sale to Terras, an infrastructure platform backed by AUCTUS Capital Partners. The transaction strengthens Terras’ footprint in critical civil and utility infrastructure and supports the continued development of MRA’s capabilities across district heating, power, emobility, fiber optics and hydrogen infrastructure.
The MRA Group (companies: MRA GmbH, mraElectric.Com GmbH), with locations in Mühlenbeck (Berlin area) and Büttelborn (Rhine-Main region), is a civil engineering company with over 36 years of experience and around 225 employees. The company provides pipeline, plant, cable, and civil infrastructure services, complemented by electrical, emobility, and fiberoptic solutions through mraElectric.Com GmbH. MRA plays a key role in enabling renewable energy integration, district heating, emobility, and hydrogen infrastructure.
Terras, headquartered in Montabaur, Germany, is a nationwide midsized civil engineering group bringing together strong regional players in earthworks, civil and road construction, surveying, geology, and special foundation engineering. Under its Buy&Build strategy, Terras has completed more than 25 addon acquisitions and aims to integrate and further develop companies like MRA – creating synergies through shared resources, regional collaboration, and operational excellence. The combination also strengthens Terras’ presence in the BerlinBrandenburg metropolitan region and opens further access to the RhineMain area via Büttelborn.
AUCTUS Capital Partners AG, the investor behind Terras, is a leading DACH midmarket private equity firm with over EUR 1 billion in assets under management and a portfolio of 45+ companies across diverse sectors.
The existing MRA leadership team will remain on board long term. Steffen Seidler will continue to lead the group as Managing Director and will remain involved as a shareholder, supporting a stable transition for employees, customers, and partners and providing a strong foundation for the next growth phase.
“This deal was truly electrifying, professionally, culturally and personally. However, it wasn’t just finding the perfect partner that was crucial for us, but also a process that had structure, pace and reliability. Carlsquare understood how to create precisely this tension while consistently protecting our business goals. The result speaks for itself, and we are delighted to take the helm together with TERRAS.” – Steffen Seidler, Managing Director and Partner, MRA Group
