Majority stake in Wagner RCP Security Holding in Vienna
The Stölting Service Group GmbH is consistently pursuing its growth course and is successfully establishing itself in the Austrian market with a majority stake in Wagner RCP Security Holding.
With this step, the long-established company from Gelsenkirchen is opening a new chapter in its 125-year history. ‘The expansion is an important step for the future of the Stölting Group and opens up new opportunities for sustainable growth and successful partnerships,’ says Stölting CEO Sebastian Mosbacher. A central component of this expansion is Wagner Sicherheitsdienste GmbH, an established operating company within the holding company. Together with local partner Raiffeisen Continuum, Stölting will further develop the company in a targeted manner and expand it strategically in order to establish a strong market position in Austria in the long term.
After decades of steady growth in the German market, the Stölting Group is now taking the next logical step: expansion into Austria. In doing so, Stölting is relying on the proven combination of organic and inorganic growth. ‘With Wagner Sicherheit GmbH, we have already acquired an established company as part of the Austrian Stölting family, which we will further develop and strategically expand,’ says Stölting Managing Director Sebastian Mosbacher. Wagner Sicherheit GmbH, in turn, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wagner RCP Security Holding, in which Stölting had previously acquired a majority shareholding. ‘With the majority stake in Wagner RCP Security Holding in Vienna, we are consistently pursuing our growth strategy and successfully establishing ourselves in the Austrian market. From our new headquarters in Vienna, we will expand our leading position in all service areas and further strengthen our presence in Austrian metropolitan areas,’ says Mosbacher.
Further shares in Wagner RCP Security Holding are held by Raiffeisen Continuum. Mosbacher: ‘With Boris Pelikan and his team at Raiffeisen Continuum, we have a strong partner at our side who shares our vision and supports us on our journey. We expect this partnership to add significant value: Raiffeisen has deep roots in the Austrian market and brings valuable local expertise and networks to the table.’ Boris Pelikan, founder and managing director of Raiffeisen Continuum, also welcomed the cooperation with Stölting: ’This partnership is an important step for Wagner Sicherheit GmbH and Raiffeisen Continuum. After all, Wagner Sicherheit is our first investment. Stölting’s entry confirms the development work we have done in recent years, because in Stölting we have not only found a strong financial investor, but also a strategic investor that shares our values and supports our vision.’ The partners agree that by joining forces, they have created an excellent basis for achieving ambitious goals. Sebastian Mosbacher therefore speaks of a major step for the Stölting Service Group: ‘As a family-owned company with a tradition going back 125 years, we know that sustainable growth is based on reliability, quality and innovation. These principles have made us a leading service provider in Germany, and it is precisely these success factors that we are now bringing to Austria. Austria offers us not only great opportunities, but also an environment in which we fit perfectly with our way of working.’ The investment in Wagner Holding is just the beginning. Further expansion steps are to follow. “I am convinced that we will achieve a great deal by joining forces and I look forward to taking this exciting path together with our dedicated team and our partners,” emphasises Sebastian Mosbacher.
