With effect from 28 January 2020, Communicatio AG, a Maffei & Co. company, is selling its majority stake in the Berlin-based IT service provider ikusei GmbH. The stake was acquired in mid-2017. The initial situation was that ikusei GmbH was too small a market player despite its good market position in Ruby programming. With the support of Maffei & Co., a complementary Berlin-based IT company was acquired in June 2019 and merged with ikusei GmbH. The restructured and reorganised company was sold back to the existing shareholders in January 2020. Communicatio AG generated a return in the high double-digit percentage range from this business in the two years of its investment due to the increase in value. www.communicatio.com

On 6 December 2019, m.partners GmbH and Communicatio AG, both Maffei & Co. companies, acquired a majority stake in Park Your Truck GmbH, Dessau-Roßlau, the leading brokerage platform for truck parking spaces, as part of a capital increase. The performance pact consists not only of the provision of additional liquidity, but also of management and technology services: The management consultancy m.partners GmbH is supporting the rapid growth of Park Your Truck, as is Communicatio AG, which will be responsible for the development and operation of a highly secure and scalable technical platform. The involvement of Maffei & Co. has also created the conditions for funding from the state of Saxony-Anhalt. The previous shareholders, a Munich-based family office and another entrepreneur in addition to the founder, will remain on board and provide support with their network.
