Carlsquare advised ENTRO Invest GmbH (“ENTRO”), a group of technical service providers offering maintenance, service, and repair of access control, security, and fire protection systems, on its growth financing. The secured long-term financing provides ENTRO with the resources needed to strengthen its position as a leading provider in the DACH region and capitalize on the increasing regulatory requirements in the industry.
Founded in 2022, ENTRO set out to establish one of the leading service providers in the DACH region for access control, fire protection, and security technology. Since its inception, ENTRO has pursued a dedicated buy-and-build strategy, continuously acquiring established companies in the sector. Today, the group comprises six integrated companies, focusing on service and maintenance offerings that generate a high proportion of recurring revenues. ENTRO primarily serves B2B clients who rely on compliant solutions to ensure operational safety. Its product and service portfolio includes critical systems such as fire protection doors, access controls, industrial gates, and smoke, gas, and fire detectors.
The security and fire protection industry is experiencing growth driven by stricter legal requirements and regulatory standards, providing a solid foundation for sustainable expansion in the DACH region. ENTRO is well-positioned to capitalize on this trend as demand for certified and reliable maintenance and repair services continues to grow.
With the secured financing, ENTRO can accelerate the acquisition of additional companies and expand into new locations. This supports the development of a leading platform for technical services and creates optimal conditions to leverage opportunities from increasing market consolidation and growing demand for comprehensive technical service solutions.
