The Thelen Group has taken over the business operations of Peters und Laza Bauunternehmung GmbH & Co. KG from Lippstadt in North Rhine-Westphalia as of May 1, 2023. The acquisition with its approximately 30 employees was initiated and accompanied by the Hamburg-based industrial trading company Greenfield Industrial. The employment relationships of the employees were also taken over as part of this. The company will continue to operate at its current location in Lippstadt. The profile will be retained, so that the previous services can now be offered under the new name Peters + Laza Bau GmbH.

Together with the transaction and transformation consultancy novaerion GmbH, lawyer and restructuring expert Marco Kuhlmann looked for a buyer for the insolvent Peters und Laza Bauunternehmung GmbH & Co. KG with the aim of continuing the company and securing employment. novaerion GmbH supported the process as a professional M&A consultancy under the leadership of Dr. André Schröer. Finally, Greenfield Industrial presented the Thelen Group as investor and consequently took over the responsibility in the process.

Furthermore, Greenfield Industrial accompanies the post-merger integration of Peters + Laza Bau GmbH into the Thelen Group in order to support the stabilization and further development of the business operations. The Thelen Group, headquartered in Essen, Germany, is a family-owned company focusing on the development, realization, marketing, administration and management of real estate. The newly established Lippstadt-based construction company will enable the Thelen Group to expand its portfolio in the field of construction and thus realize further projects in the NRW area.

Ron Alexander, Managing Director of Greenfield Industrial GmbH, emphasizes: "We are proud to have made a significant contribution to the continuation of Peters + Laza Bau GmbH and thus to be able to help secure jobs. We are also pleased to support the Thelen Group in the integration of the construction company and its employees and to assist in the further development of the business operations."
