The Stölting Service Group will remember 2025 as a year characterised by dynamism, growth and bold decisions. The company set a decisive course in the first few months and consistently pursued this course until the end of the year.
Strategic growth and international expansion
On 1 January 2025, Stölting took over the insolvent security technology company DeichTec. With its location in Emden and its distinctive full-service mentality, DeichTec fits perfectly into the existing company structure, both geographically and in terms of content. In particular, the takeover strengthens the company's presence in northern Germany and supports the sustainable expansion of the security portfolio.
Another milestone followed with the takeover of the Austrian security company AT-Ost. The company thus laid the foundations for the establishment of Stölting Austria GmbH and entered international territory. This step marked the beginning of a targeted expansion beyond Germany's borders.
This path continued in November 2025: Stölting expanded its range of services in Austria in the building cleaning segment by integrating MKV Cleaning GmbH. Over the past year, the company has grown step by step into a new market region and established itself there in both security and building services.
As a reliable partner familiar with the Austrian market, Raiffeisen Continuum GmbH is supporting the company's expansion with a view to further acquisitions and long-term growth. .
Passion for sport and partnerships that connect
In sport, 2025 also showed that Stölting thinks far beyond traditional company boundaries. In addition to existing commitments, numerous partnerships were forged in professional and popular sport.
In football, the new partners include Rot-Weiss Essen, FSV Zwickau, VfB Stuttgart and FK Austria Wien - the first Austrian Bundesliga club to do so. Telekom Baskets Bonn (Basketball Bundesliga) and the handball clubs Eulen Ludwigshafen and ASV Hamm-Westfalen were also added.
These collaborations emphasise the perception of Stölting as a reliable and committed partner, even beyond the country's borders. At the same time, the focus remained on popular sport. Where community is created and careers begin. The partnership with local clubs, such as Wacker Obercastrop, is an example of the local commitment that is and remains important to Stölting despite its growing reputation.
Security projects at the highest level
In the event and security sector, 2025 was a truly exceptional year. The Rhine-Ruhr 2025 FISU World University Games were a particular highlight. Stölting was responsible for security at all the venues, mastering one of the biggest tasks in the company's history.
At the same time, Stölting was deployed at major events such as Rock am Ring, the Hurricane Festival and the Glücksgefühle Festival, thus making the leap into the security of the big festival world. The successful conclusion of the year was the takeover of admission control at Messe Dortmund, a further sign of the trust placed in the company's expertise and reliability.
Humanity as a fixed factor
Despite the expansion and the realisation of various major projects, the focus was on people. The Stölting Foosball Cup, which was held for the first time in March 2025, was a special symbol of this. A total of 16 teams from the Stölting corporate eleven and other companies and clubs from Gelsenkirchen and the region competed against each other in a table football tournament. Together, they raised 25,000 euros for the Balthasar Youth and Children's Hospice Foundation. In addition to the good cause, the tournament provided sporting ambition, team spirit and many smiling faces.
The challenge cup remained in the company in 2025 and was won by the Stölting team consisting of CEO Sebastian Mosbacher, Pascal Hüyng (Head of Central Services) and Christoph Brauckmann (Head of Mergers & Acquisitions). It remains to be seen whether the trophy will remain in the company permanently, but one thing is certain: the Stölting Kicker Cup will enter the next round in 2026. Partners from business and professional sport are once again expected to take part on 19 June 2026.
At the end of the year, Stölting set another example with a quiet but impressive campaign: With a wish tree in the Caritas Gelsenkirchen children's home, small wishes were granted to severely traumatised children.
Outlook for 2026
With the tailwind from 2025, the Stölting Service Group is optimistic about the future. The growth trajectory we have embarked on will be consistently pursued in 2026 with the clear aim of continuing to combine quality, humanity and responsibility.
