About IBB.group

IBB Industrie Beteiligung und Beratung GmbH & Co. KG (IBB.group) is a holding company based in Hagen, operating in Germany. Founded in 2010 with ten employees, the group today employs more than 200 people and, with its portfolio companies, ranks among the leading German manufacturers of fasteners. The group pursues a buy-and-build approach: the focus is on 100% acquisitions of underperforming metal processing companies with annual revenues between 25 and 100 million euros, including difficult restructuring cases. Through the operationally managed portfolio companies – Paul Korth GmbH & Co. KG (Lüdenscheid), SHU Cold Forming GmbH & Co. KG (Neuenrade) and Kettling GmbH & Co. KG (Lennestadt-Grevenbrück) – cold-formed metal fasteners are manufactured, primarily for the automotive industry. The group's aim is to sustainably restructure its holdings through operational collaboration and, in the future, to also offer the development and manufacture of complex assemblies.
