Nuremberg assembly group merges BRZ Germany with Infoniqa

Nurem­berg — Under the umbrella of global growth inves­tor Warburg Pincus, Nürn­ber­ger Baugruppe GmbH + Co KG (“Nürn­ber­ger Baugruppe”) brings BRZ Deutsch­land GmbH into a joint plat­form with Info­niqa Group. POELLATH advi­sed Nürn­ber­ger Baugruppe on the merger. 

As early as 1968, brot­hers Wolf­gang and Gernot Hanne­wald had the idea of crea­ting a “Baure­chen­zen­trum” (BRZ) as part of the Nurem­berg cons­truc­tion group. Today’s BRZ Deutsch­land GmbH subse­quently deve­lo­ped into one of the market leaders for ERP soft­ware and payroll solu­ti­ons in the cons­truc­tion sector. Today, it supports more than 12,500 custo­mers with around 650 employees. 

The Info­niqa Group was foun­ded in 1988 in Wels, Austria, and is now majo­rity-owned by the growth inves­tor Warburg Pincus. It specia­li­zes in soft­ware and service solu­ti­ons in all areas of admi­nis­tra­tive and stra­te­gic HR manage­ment: payroll accoun­ting, time manage­ment and outsour­cing. As one of the few full-service provi­ders in the DACH market with loca­ti­ons in Germany, Switz­er­land, the Czech Repu­blic and Poland, the company also opera­tes inter­na­tio­nally with 500 employees at 11 locations. 

The merger of the Info­niqa Group and BRZ Deutsch­land GmbH crea­tes a strong group of compa­nies in the DACH region under the umbrella of Warburg Pincus, which conti­nues to invest in tech­no­lo­gi­cal inno­va­tion and growth.
