S&B Strategy advises HomeServe Germany on the acquisition of Schneider GmbH

Our team advised HomeServe Germany, a portfolio company of Brookfield Infrastructure Partners, on the acquisition of Schneider GmbH. The transaction was signed in November 2024.

HomeServe is one of the leading HVAC trade groups with a focus on private end customers and residential construction. With a presence in eight countries and a total of around 9,000 employees, HomeServe focuses on actively strengthening trade companies in the respective regions by bundling central functions so that the companies can concentrate on consulting, installation and service in the HVAC and electrical trades. With this acquisition, HomeServe will further strengthen its presence in the greater Würzburg area.

Schneider is an established PV and HVAC company in the greater Würzburg area with a focus on private end customers. The owner-managed family business with a long tradition and excellent reputation in the PV and HVAC industry is known in the greater Würzburg area for its high-quality products and first-class services. With the resources of HomeServe, Schneider will be able to offer innovative solutions and services that meet the changing needs of customers and pursue a long-term growth path with existing management.

Our team comprehensively supported HomeServe as lead M&A advisor throughout the acquisition process to successful signing and with operational due diligence.
