EMERAM invests in Hochfrequenz Unternehmensberatung GmbH and supports the company in its next growth phase
Munich (DE), January 2026 – Funds advised by EMERAM have signed an agreement to acquire Hochfrequenz Unternehmensberatung GmbH ("Hochfrequenz"). With this transaction, EMERAM strengthens its commitment to the technology and energy sectors and makes a targeted investment in a high-growth industry. EMERAM is one of the leading growth investors for mid-sized companies in the German-speaking region.
Hochfrequenz, headquartered in Grünwald near Munich, was founded in 2009 and supports energy supply companies in the German-speaking region with strategic, technological, and operational issues. These include, in particular, increasing regulatory complexity, the digital and cloud-based transformation of business and IT processes, as well as the growing need for automation of operational workflows. Outdated system landscapes, fragmented processes, and an increasing shortage of skilled workers make it difficult for many companies to implement urgently needed transformation projects. In these areas, numerous energy suppliers see significant catching-up potential – a development that will continue to drive demand for Hochfrequenz's specialized consulting services in the future.
Hochfrequenz has grown strongly and profitably in recent years. Together with EMERAM as a strategic development partner, the company will now make targeted investments in expanding its consulting and implementation capabilities, in digital solutions, and in organic growth. The existing management team will continue to be responsible for the company's operations.
Andreas Hoelzer, Managing Partner of Hochfrequenz, welcomes the collaboration: "With EMERAM, we are gaining a strong partner who actively supports our strategic direction and growth trajectory. Together, we aim to provide our clients with even more comprehensive support in addressing regulatory, technological, and organizational challenges."
Thorsten Förg, Managing Partner of Hochfrequenz, adds: "We have already grown profitably in recent years and now want to take the next step with EMERAM to further accelerate our growth and strategically expand our service portfolio."
Dr. Ruprecht Puchstein, Partner at EMERAM, explains: "The energy industry is undergoing profound structural change. Regulatory requirements and digitalization pressure in the energy supply landscape are not short-term trends but long-term demand drivers for Hochfrequenz. Hochfrequenz has proven expertise and a strong market position to optimally support its clients in the upcoming transformation processes."
Felix Hasenmaier, Principal at EMERAM, adds: "Hochfrequenz has deep domain knowledge and thus offers an excellent foundation for unlocking the potential of digital transformation, automation, and artificial intelligence. Together with management, we want to develop the company into a broadly positioned platform for the technology-driven shaping of the energy transition."
Further details of the transaction were not disclosed.
EMERAM was advised on the transaction by Valantic (Commercial), Noerr (Legal and Tax), and Alvarez & Marsal (Finance). Hochfrequenz and its shareholders were advised by Quantum Partners (M&A) and Dissmann Orth (Legal).
Hochfrequenz Unternehmensberatung GmbH, headquartered in Grünwald near Munich, supports energy supply companies in the German-speaking region with strategic, technological, and operational issues, particularly in the transformation of business and IT processes.
