Building Connections.
TERRAS welcomes H.I.G. Capital ("H.I.G.") as a new strategic partner, laying the foundation for the company's next phase of growth. H.I.G. is taking over the majority shareholder position from Auctus Capital Partners and will accompany TERRAS going forward as an investor. The signing took place on July 2, 2026.
The partnership marks an important milestone in the development of TERRAS. Together, TERRAS and H.I.G. aim to consistently continue expanding the leading independent network of medium-sized infrastructure companies in Germany.
With the acquisition of WWB Tiefbaugesellschaft mbH, the Sojka brothers laid the foundation for today's TERRAS Group in 2014. The founding of TERRAS together with Auctus in 2020 marked the next milestone: building a nationwide network of strong regional infrastructure companies to pool synergies and entrepreneurial strength. Today, the group comprises almost 30 subsidiary companies with more than 1,800 employees across more than 12 locations. TERRAS now brings together companies from the fields of Services, regional infrastructure construction, specialist civil engineering, Rail, and Resources. With H.I.G., TERRAS gains a partner who supports the continuation of its growth trajectory to date and will accompany the further development of the network in the years ahead.
The growth strategy remains unchanged: TERRAS will continue to bring strong medium-sized companies together, drive regional clusters of expertise, and expand value creation along infrastructure markets in a targeted way. The companies within the network retain their entrepreneurial independence and regional identity. At the same time, they benefit from shared resources, pooled know-how, and the strength of a nationwide alliance.
H.I.G.'s entry does not signal a strategic realignment, but rather accelerates the growth course already underway. The brand core, corporate culture, and collaborative partnership within the network remain unchanged. The existing management team and the group's leadership will also remain on board and will continue to shape the further development of TERRAS together. For customers, partners, and employees, this means continuity, stability, and reliability. The values, identity, and decentralized entrepreneurial structure of TERRAS remain unchanged and continue to form the foundation for sustainable growth.
"Together with our companies, we have built a strong foundation over the past years. Today, TERRAS stands for a unique network built on entrepreneurial responsibility, deep expertise, and regional strength. With H.I.G., we are gaining a partner who shares our long-term vision and supports us in consistently continuing our growth. Together, we will keep expanding our network, unlock new opportunities, and actively help shape the development of infrastructure in Germany. Our ambition remains unchanged: TERRAS is to become the leading home for medium-sized infrastructure companies in Germany."
Dr. Dirk Sojka, Co-Founder and CEO of TERRAS
"Over the past years, TERRAS has undergone an extraordinary development and built a unique network of successful medium-sized infrastructure companies. We have been particularly impressed by the strong corporate culture, the entrepreneurial ownership of the partner companies, and the clear long-term vision."
Rohin Jain, Managing Director at H.I.G. Capital
"We look forward to supporting the management and companies of the TERRAS Group on their continued growth journey and to shaping the next phase of development together."
Daniel Krysewski, Principal at H.I.G. Capital
The change of investor follows the typical lifecycle of institutional shareholdings. Auctus Capital Partners accompanied TERRAS through a decisive growth phase and, together with management, laid the foundation for the company's current market position.
With H.I.G., the next chapter of the company's development now begins. Together, the partners are creating the conditions to elevate the network's scale, capability, and reach to a new level, and to continue TERRAS's successful growth trajectory over the long term. The TERRAS Group thanks Auctus Capital Partners for the long-standing, trust-based collaboration and for its important support along the growth path to date. The progress achieved together forms the foundation for the next phase of the company's development.
TERRAS is a nationwide infrastructure service provider and the leading independent network of medium-sized infrastructure companies in Germany. The network brings together specialists from the fields of Services, regional infrastructure construction, specialist civil engineering, Rail, and Resources. Close collaboration between the companies creates synergies that make projects more efficient, accelerate innovation, and enable sustainable growth.
Today, the TERRAS Group comprises almost 30 subsidiary companies at more than 12 locations across Germany. Together, the companies generate annual revenue of around €500 million and employ more than 1,800 people.
TERRAS stands for entrepreneurial independence, regional strength, and collaborative partnership. Together, the companies within the network are shaping the infrastructure of tomorrow – rooted regionally, with nationwide impact.
