Stölting Service Group GmbH is continuing its growth trajectory and has successfully established itself on 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 a significant 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 its local partner Raiffeisen Continuum, Stölting will continue to 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. Stölting is relying on its proven combination of organic and inorganic growth. „With Wagner Sicherheit GmbH, we have already gained an established company as part of the Austrian Stölting family, which we will continue to develop and expand strategically,“ 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 become a majority shareholder. „With our majority stake in Wagner RCP Security Holding in Vienna, we are consistently pursuing our growth strategy and successfully establishing ourselves on the Austrian market. From our new headquarters in Vienna, we will systematically expand our leading position in all service areas and further strengthen our presence in Austrian metropolitan areas,“ says Mosbacher.
Raiffeisen Continuum holds further shares in Wagner RCP Security Holding. 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 deliver considerable added value: Raiffeisen is deeply rooted 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 our development work over the last few years, because in Stölting we have not only found a strong financial investor, but also a strategic investor who shares our values and supports our vision.“
The partners agree that combining forces creates an excellent basis for achieving ambitious goals. Sebastian Mosbacher therefore speaks of a major step forward for the Stölting Service Group: „As a family business with 125 years of tradition, we know that sustainable growth is based on reliability, quality and innovation. These principles have made us a leading service provider in Germany, and we are now bringing these very success factors to Austria. Austria not only offers us great opportunities, but also an environment in which our way of working fits in perfectly.“
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 embarking on this exciting journey together with our dedicated team and our partners,“ emphasises Sebastian Mosbacher.
