Silent partnership for company builder Mantro

The Munich-based company receives mezzanine financing from BayBG. The company builder wants to grow further.

Mantro from Munich has received a silent participation in the form of mezzanine capital. BayBG Bayerische Beteiligungsgesellschaft is providing the money, the amount is not known. "Mantro GmbH stands out from other digitalization consultants or system houses thanks to its exceptional business model," says Ulrich Strobel, Investment Manager at BayBG. "It supports medium-sized companies and corporations in the form of a company builder in the development of new digital business models." To this end, Mantro founds new companies together with industrial clients via joint ventures.

Mantro currently employs 75 people at its locations in Munich, Zagreb and the Ruhr region. Founded in 2005, the company only started out as a company builder six years ago, having previously been a technical service provider. Mantro has already founded 25 companies with the aim of driving digitalization forward.

As soon as the new company is successful, both Mantro and the industrial company inject money and hand over management. "With this type of collaboration, we regularly manage to combine the best of both worlds: The dynamism and new approaches of a young digital start-up on the one hand, and experience and organizational expertise on the other," says Mantro Managing Director Manfred Tropper.
