The Platform Group AG, a Düsseldorf-based software company specializing in platform solutions across 28 industries, has completed the planned disposal of three portfolio companies in the fourth quarter of 2025. The companies—Emco Electroroller, Aplanta, and X-Mobility—were classified as non-core assets and together accounted for approximately 0.2% of the group's revenue. The disposal generated proceeds in the single-digit million euro range.
CEO Dr. Dominik Benner stated that this move aligns with the company's strategy, announced in November 2025, to concentrate on larger, more relevant shareholdings to enhance margins and actively pursue acquisitions in that area. The divestment allows The Platform Group to streamline its portfolio and allocate resources toward its core platform businesses, which serve both B2B and B2C customers in sectors such as furniture retail, machinery retail, dental technology, and luxury fashion.
Financial forecasts remain unchanged following the disposal. During the Q3 earnings call on November 6, 2025, the Management Board presented figures for the first nine months of the year and confirmed the outlook for 2025 and the medium-term plan for 2026. The disposed companies have no impact on these projections, underscoring their minimal contribution to the group's overall performance. In 2024, The Platform Group reported sales of EUR 525 million and an adjusted EBITDA of EUR 33 million, with operations spanning 19 locations across Europe.
This strategic divestment highlights The Platform Group's commitment to optimizing its business model by shedding smaller, non-core holdings to focus on scalable platform solutions. For the industry, it signals a trend toward consolidation and specialization in the software platform sector, where companies are increasingly prioritizing margin improvement and strategic acquisitions. Readers and investors may view this as a positive step toward enhanced profitability and growth, as the company leverages its expertise in platform solutions to capture larger market opportunities.
