The Platform Group AG, a leading software company for platform solutions, has completed the disposal of three portfolio companies classified as non-core assets. As announced by the Management Board in its presentation on 12 November 2025, the companies Emco Electroroller, Aplanta and X-Mobility were disposed of as planned in the fourth quarter of 2025. Together, these companies previously accounted for a revenue volume of 0.2% within the TPG Group, with disposal proceeds in the single-digit million euro range.
Dr. Dominik Benner, CEO of The Platform Group, stated that the company intends to focus more strongly on relevant, larger shareholdings to increase margins and actively acquire additional companies in this area. This strategic move allows TPG to streamline its portfolio and concentrate resources on core growth areas. The disposal aligns with the company's communicated strategy from November, demonstrating execution on its stated plans.
During the Q3 earnings call on 6 November 2025, the financial figures for the first nine months of the financial year were presented. The Management Board confirms the forecast for the current financial year as well as for the published medium-term plan for 2026. The disposed companies have no impact on the forecast for the 2025 and 2026 financial years, indicating these were truly non-core operations with minimal financial significance to the overall group performance.
The Platform Group AG is active in 28 industries with its own platform solutions, serving both B2B and B2C customers in sectors including furniture retail, machinery retail, dental technology and luxury fashion. With 19 locations across Europe and headquarters in Düsseldorf, the company achieved sales of EUR 525 million in 2024 with an operating result (EBITDA adjusted) of EUR 33 million. The company's corporate information is available at corporate.the-platform-group.com.
This disposal matters because it represents a strategic refinement of The Platform Group's portfolio, allowing the company to concentrate on higher-margin opportunities while divesting smaller, non-core assets. The transaction demonstrates management's commitment to executing on communicated strategies and optimizing the company's business mix for improved profitability. By focusing on larger shareholdings, TPG can potentially achieve better economies of scale and more significant market positions in its target industries. The fact that these disposals have no impact on financial forecasts suggests they were carefully selected to minimize disruption while advancing the company's strategic objectives.
