Schraner GmbH

Schraner GmbH is a specialized provider of fire protection and alarm solutions with a leading market position in Germany. The company develops and manufactures fire brigade peripheral as the core of its portfolio and additionally distributes products in the areas of signaling devices and fire detection. As a founder-led company, Schraner GmbH has been active in the market since 1994.

With the acquisition, Indutrade strengthens its Infrastructure & Construction business area and further expands its presence in Germany in particular. For Schraner GmbH, the transition opens up new opportunities and additional prospects for the company’s continued development. Indutrade was founded in 1978 and, with around 215 companies and approximately 9,700 employees in more than 30 countries, is one of the established industrial holding companies.

Indutrade follows a clear philosophy: it develops successful, medium-sized companies over the long term without taking away their independence and entrepreneurial identity. The companies within the group are managed in a decentralized way. The focus is on employees, who are regarded as key success factors for the companies’ performance.

The remaining companies of the SCHRANER Group will focus on their proven business areas and align their activities specifically with the current and future needs of the market.

It was important to me to find a long-term partner for Schraner GmbH that shares our values and will develop the company sustainably. As the founder, the well-being of our employees is especially close to my heart. With Indutrade, we have found a buyer that offers exactly that. I am grateful for the professional advice from BLOK and the successful execution.
Stefan Schraner, founder of Schraner GmbH
