The SPIE Group is the independent European leader in multi-technical services in the areas of energy and communications. In 2023, the Group recorded consolidated revenues of €8.7 billion and consolidated EBITA of €584 million. SPIE Germany & Central Europe with its business unit Energy Solutions is a subsidiary of SPIE Group. Leveraging comprehensive technical expertise, it works hand-in-hand with clients to build a climate-friendly, digital future.
The acquisition of MBG energy enables SPIE to strengthen its ESG solution capabilities and provide a full-service PV offering to German commercial customers. The PV market is set to grow rapidly in the coming years with the implementation of the EU Solar Standard, which requires the installation of solar panels on all new public and commercial buildings. The transaction also allows SPIE to harness synergies with MBG energy in technical facility management.
MBG energy’s current management, Julian Merz (CEO), Jensd Gockel (CTO) and Enzo Simon (COO), retain minority stakes and will continue in their roles after joining SPIE together with the 47-strong MBG team.
