LPA Law tax advises Janitza on strategic majority acquisition of IoT specialist digimondo

The Janitza Group, based in Lahnau (Hesse), has prevailed in a structured bidding process and acquired a majority stake in Hamburg-based software developer digimondo.

Janitza was supported by a team from our Frankfurt office, led by Denis Bacina (Corporate/M&A), together with Ina von Raven (Corporate/M&A), Björn Joachim (IP/IT), Benedict Grimm (Corporate), Sebastian Bock (Banking & Finance), Jessica Hild (Employment), Anna Reuber (Venture Capital) et Dr. Steffen Paulmann (Employment).

The mandate included comprehensive legal advice throughout the entire transaction process – from the bidding phase to the final agreement with the digimondofounders who remain with the company. The deal combines Janitza’s leading position in energy measurement technology with digimondo’s innovative IoT and digital twin solutions, creating an integrated provider for the digital transformation of energy management.

Founded in 1986, Janitza electronics GmbH is a leading provider of energy measurement and management solutions, employing over 500 people and known for its GridVis® platform. Digimondo GmbH, founded in 2016 as part of the E.ON Group, has established itself as a German market leader in LoRaWAN and IoT software solutions in the energy sector. Its niotix IoT Data Hub platform enables the integration of various IoT technologies and creates digital twins for modern energy management.

“This transaction exemplifies the convergence of hardware and software in the energy technology sector,” explains Denis Bacina. “With our strong track record in tech M&A, we were able to successfully navigate complex legal issues, from IP/IT matters and regulatory compliance to integration structures, and we are proud to support the Janitza Group on its growth path.”

The deal comes amid a dynamically growing market for energy management systems, which is expected to exceed USD 31 billion in Europe by 2030. The integration of Janitza’s hardware expertise with digimondo’s software capabilities delivers end-to-end solutions for Industry 4.0 and smart grid applications.
