Munich, 10.07.2024:
PROM12 is pleased to announce the successful completion of a majority investment in List + Lohr GmbH, a leading provider of managed IT services and Datev partner. This strategic investment marks the beginning of a comprehensive consolidation of IT service providers under the umbrella of the jointly founded ploon.it group.
Founded in Hanover in 1996 by Martin List and Jan-Michael Lohr, the company has developed into a local pioneer thanks to its focused managed services and cloud-first strategy. With a dedicated team of around 90 specialists, List + Lohr now serves over 1,000 customers from the SME sector and has continuously strengthened its market position through both organic growth and targeted acquisitions.
The ploon.it group, the latest project of PROM12 in cooperation with the management of List + Lohr, aims to combine a group of leading IT service providers in all major German economic regions into a supra-regional group and to develop the member companies into regional market leaders for small and medium-sized corporate customers. The group aims to promote the growth of its member companies through targeted investments and strategic and operational support.
“We see great potential in the regional managed IT services sector, which can be leveraged with the right support and strategic foresight. With List + Lohr, we have shown that we are ideally prepared to successfully develop similar companies and make them competitive,” explains Jan-Michael Lohr, founder and Managing Director of List + Lohr GmbH.
“We are very happy to have PROM12 at our side as a partner for our ambitious common goals. Their entrepreneurial spirit and visionary approach convinced us right from the start,” says Martin List, founder and Managing Director of List + Lohr GmbH.
“We are very pleased that Jan-Michael Lohr and Martin List have decided to join us in forming a strong group for managed IT services through active buy-and-build. We are impressed by the strategic and operational competence with which they have developed the group so far,” comments Sebastian Säuberlich, Managing Partner of PROM12.
