Joining forces for the residential segment: Westbridge acquires energy service provider EKB

The Westbridge Group (Westbridge) and EKB GmbH (EKB) are joining forces to provide the housing industry with even more comprehensive and efficient support in energy and supply management in future. EKB is an established energy service provider with a focus on energy-efficient supply concepts, contracting solutions and operational optimization of residential and commercial properties. The focus is on bringing together specialist expertise in the residential segment and the consistent further development of high-performance, data-based energy solutions for the housing industry. EKB will continue to operate with its existing team at the Heilbronn and Aalen locations under the leadership of founder and Managing Director Tayfun Atesli.

"The housing industry segment is one of the key growth areas of our company. EKB contributes its in-depth expertise and perfectly rounds off our range of services. Together, we can represent the interests of our clients within the housing industry much better and more efficiently," explains Yama Mahasher, CEO of Westbridge.

"Both our clients and our employees will benefit from the acquisition," adds Tayfun Atesli, founder of EKB. "We share the same quality standards with Westbridge and the conviction that data-based energy and operating solutions will shape the future of the real estate industry. Together, we can leverage this potential even better."

The acquisition of EKB is another milestone in Westbridge's strategic direction. The company is growing dynamically in Germany and increasingly internationally, including with the newly founded subsidiary in Spain. At the same time, Westbridge is focusing more strongly on the residential sector in order to exploit synergies within the Group and broaden its range of services.
