The Platform Group SE & Co. KGaA (TPG) has agreed to sell its majority stake in BEVMAQ GmbH, a platform for beverage machinery, to a group of German investors. The transaction, signed on October 5, 2026, is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026. The purchase price remains undisclosed. TPG initially invested in BEVMAQ in 2022, and since then, the company has achieved significant growth in revenue, EBITDA, and earnings, with the number of machines available on the platform increasing more than eightfold.
This divestment is noteworthy because it demonstrates TPG's ability to build and scale platform businesses successfully. BEVMAQ's rapid expansion under TPG's ownership underscores the effectiveness of TPG's proprietary platform solutions, which are deployed across 26 industries. The sale allows TPG to realize value from a successful investment while potentially reallocating capital to other strategic initiatives. Moreover, the acquisition by German investors indicates continued confidence in the beverage machinery trading sector and the platform's business model.
TPG operates as a Europe-wide software company with a partner network of over 17,600 partners, serving both B2B and B2C customers. Its diverse portfolio includes industries such as luxury goods, optics and hearing, furniture retail, machinery trading, dental technology, and electronics. With 19 locations across Europe and headquarters in Dusseldorf, TPG reported revenue of EUR 728 million and adjusted EBITDA of EUR 55 million for the 2025 financial year. The company's focus on platform solutions has enabled it to create substantial value, as evidenced by BEVMAQ's growth trajectory.
The sale of BEVMAQ is a strategic move that may strengthen TPG's balance sheet and allow it to concentrate on its core platform businesses. It also highlights the attractiveness of niche B2B platforms to investors. As TPG continues to expand its partner network and industry reach, this transaction could serve as a blueprint for future investments and exits.
