R+S is a leading provider of technical building services. R+S plans, manages, and provides maintenance services for, projects mainly in the fields of municipal construction, healthcare, industrial production, and shipbuilding. R+S offers a single-source solution; its range of services comprises electrical system construction, energy and control technology as well as heating/air-conditioning and ventilation technology. Current high-profile projects that the company is involved in include the construction of the new Terminal 3 at Frankfurt Airport and expansion of the University Hospital Frankfurt. Technical building services account for slightly more than 50 per cent of revenues. The company’s range of services is complemented by two organisationally independent business divisions – personnel services and a high-performance electrical wholesale operation.

The company employs 2,596 staff members at 23 locations in Germany; 500 employees work at the headquarters in Fulda (Hesse).

The market environment is positive: the trend towards ‘smart’ and energy-efficient buildings ensures continued growth while expanding the market especially for electrical building services, which is predominantly what R+S offers. The company’s realignment, which is already well underway, is expected to be completed over the next few years, thus enabling further strong revenue growth. Further acquisitions will also contribute to this. DBAG is strengthening the company’s equity position, thus accelerating the successful realignment of the company.
