Mubadala Investment Company, based in Abu Dhabi, has announced its agreement to acquire a minority stake in Apleona, a prominent European provider of integrated facility management located in Neu-Isenburg, Germany. This investment is made in partnership with a consortium led by Bain Capital’s Private Equity team in Europe, aiming to support Apleona’s growth and establish it as the leading integrated facility management group in Europe.

Zouhir Regragui, the Head of Industrials & Business Services at Mubadala, expressed enthusiasm for this investment, highlighting Apleona’s position as a market leader in the real estate and technical facility management sector. He noted that Mubadala looks forward to collaborating closely with Dr. Jochen Keysberg and the management team at Apleona as they embark on the next phase of their growth journey.

Apleona is recognized for its strong technical expertise and international footprint, offering high-quality and innovative services to both regional and large cross-border clients. The company is addressing the rising demand for Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) solutions, particularly those aimed at reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions in buildings.

Looking ahead, Apleona plans to expand its European operations and enhance its services through digital transformation. This includes investing in data and AI-based control systems for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, as well as predictive maintenance for building technologies. The company has already made significant strides in this direction, having completed 14 strategic acquisitions in Europe, including the notable acquisition of Gegenbauer Group in 2023.

The completion of this transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, which include regulatory approvals.

Mubadala Investment Company manages a diverse global portfolio worth $302 billion (AED 1,111 billion), covering multiple sectors and asset classes across six continents. The company’s mission is to generate sustainable financial returns for the Government of Abu Dhabi while supporting the diversification and global integration of the UAE’s economy.
