Deutsche Private Equity Acquires Majority Stake in NTA Group

Deutsche Private Equity (DPE) has signed an agreement to acquire a majority stake in NTA Group from Adiuva Capital, marking a strategic investment in the integrated security and IT infrastructure sector. The deal, announced on May 27, 2026, is subject to approval by relevant antitrust authorities. Financial terms remain undisclosed.

Headquartered in Mainz, Germany, NTA Group specializes in designing, implementing, and operating solutions that protect buildings, people, assets, and communication channels from physical and digital security threats. Its product portfolio includes fire and intrusion detection systems, video surveillance, access control, alarm and emergency management, communication solutions, and IT and network infrastructure. The company serves a diverse customer base, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), healthcare providers, public authorities, and operators of critical infrastructure.

With approximately 360 employees across nine locations in Germany and Luxembourg, NTA Group generates annual revenues exceeding EUR 60 million. The management team will retain an equity interest in the company as part of the transaction, ensuring continuity in leadership and strategic direction.

DPE views NTA as a compelling platform within a market where security, communication, and IT infrastructure are critical to business and public sector operations. Andreas W. Schmid, Partner at DPE, highlights the company’s integrated offering and strong customer relationships as key strengths. “We were particularly convinced by the quality of the management team, the strong service orientation and the proven ability to combine organic growth with targeted add-on acquisitions,” he said.

The partnership aims to support NTA’s organic growth, expand its service, maintenance, and managed services offerings, and continue a buy-and-build strategy. NTA plans to strengthen its market position within the DACH region and explore growth opportunities in selected European markets over time.

Benjamin Lieber, who will become Spokesman of the Group Management Board, emphasized the company’s commitment to reliability and service. “Our customers rely on systems that must function reliably in critical situations. With DPE, we are gaining a strategic partner that understands our ambitions and will support us in further developing the Group,” he said.

Torsten Marx, co-founder of NTA Group, will transition from his operational role to Chairman of the Advisory Board, focusing on strategic development. He noted the company’s evolution from a regional systems integrator to a broader corporate group with an expanded service portfolio and strategic acquisitions.

The transaction is financed with debt provided by Adams Street Partners. DPE was advised by Deloitte on financial matters, CA Strategy on commercial aspects, PwC on tax and structure, Dechert on legal issues, and MCF on debt financing.

The acquisition strengthens NTA Group’s position as a leading integrated security and IT infrastructure provider in the DACH region. It enables cross-selling of expanded managed services, leverages DPE’s network to access new SME clients, and broadens solutions into adjacent verticals such as healthcare and critical infrastructure.

Industry consolidation is expected to accelerate as competitors respond to increased scale and service breadth. Key challenges include aligning management and operations across multiple locations, maintaining service quality during integration, and navigating regulatory approvals.

Looking ahead, the partnership aims to capitalize on recurring revenue growth through managed services and maintenance contracts, invest in technology innovation to address evolving security risks, and strengthen regional presence and customer proximity.
