What we do

Appliance Group is growing as a fully integrated group of companies in commercial appliance service – not a loose cooperation. Shared structures, real operational levers and entrepreneurial ownership create what individual businesses can rarely achieve alone: a lasting competitive edge in a highly fragmented market.

Consolidation

We combine strong independent service businesses into a powerful group. Regional specialists become a supra-regional platform – with real weight at manufacturers, suppliers and commercial customers.

Identity

Regional strength and entrepreneurial character are preserved. Local, long-standing customer relationships remain the core of success – now backed by a stronger group.

Platform

Together we achieve more than individually. Shared infrastructure, pooled know-how and joint investment – the group approach makes the difference, felt in practice and built to last.

What group members gain

Spare Parts & Procurement

Combined volume secures better terms from manufacturers and parts suppliers. Shared warehouse structures improve parts availability and reduce response times in the field.

Shared Services & Org Development

Accounting, HR and dispatching are provided centrally. We also develop the organisation through structured technician programmes and systematic quality management.

Technology & Digitalisation

Digital service management, scheduling and electronic service records: we invest in the infrastructure as a group – and share the efficiency advantage.

Service Contracts & Certifications

Together we expand our preventive maintenance contract offering and secure manufacturer certifications – tools that sustainably strengthen customer retention and margin.

Your path into the group

Succession & Exit

You want to hand your business over responsibly and step back. Appliance Group acquires your stake and actively carries your life's work forward.

Growing together

You stay entrepreneurially active and we take a majority stake. As a group member you retain responsibility and share in the value creation of the whole platform.

Which path fits – we will figure that out together.
