H.I.G. Capital Completes the Acquisition of TERRAS Group

In a significant move within the investment landscape, H.I.G. Capital, a leading global alternative investment firm managing $75 billion in assets, has officially announced its acquisition of a majority stake in TERRAS Group. The announcement was made on July 6, 2026, marking a pivotal moment for both companies involved. The co-founders of TERRAS, Dr. Dirk Sojka and Ralf Sojka, are set to reinvest alongside H.I.G., signaling their commitment to the company's ongoing growth objectives.

What is TERRAS Group?

TERRAS, headquartered in Montabaur, Germany, specializes in engineering and construction services for infrastructure projects across various sectors, including mobility, energy, digital infrastructure, water management, and urban development in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland). The firm excels in providing integrated solutions for civil infrastructure, encompassing regional infrastructure developments, specialized foundation engineering, railway construction, and related engineering services.

With Germany facing substantial investment needs in its infrastructure, coupled with an accelerating energy transition and a growing demand for digital infrastructure, TERRAS is strategically positioned for further expansion. H.I.G. aims to bolster the company’s growth phase by enhancing the density of its service clusters within existing German markets, while also selectively venturing into new geographical territories.

H.I.G.'s Vision for Growth

Rohin Jain, Managing Director of H.I.G. Middle Market Europe, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, "TERRAS exemplifies the type of company we prefer to collaborate with — a founder-led platform with a proven business model that is active in a substantial and structurally appealing market. The historical backlog in infrastructure investments in Germany, combined with the fast-paced energy transition, offers unprecedented long-term growth opportunities for the firm. We are proud to partner with them in this next phase and look forward to supporting the team in expanding TERRAS into a company of national and European strategic importance."

Dr. Dirk Sojka and Ralf Sojka added, "When we founded TERRAS, we had a clear vision to build a platform that covers the entire value chain of civil infrastructure while maintaining the entrepreneurial culture that makes regional specialists successful. Today, that vision is becoming a reality, and we are convinced that we are just at the beginning of our journey. H.I.G. possesses deep insights into our company and has a proven track record of working with founder-led businesses to support their next growth phase."

The Future with H.I.G.

Founded in 2014, TERRAS has emerged as a leading provider of engineering and construction services in the DACH region. The company's end-to-end capabilities cater to both public and private clients, showcasing specialist expertise in regional civil engineering, foundational technology, railway construction, and technical services, alongside auxiliary resources such as quarries, soil depots, and recycling services.

TERRAS operates under a regional cluster model that combines local entrepreneurship with centralized governance, procurement, and sharing best practices. As the firm embarks on this new chapter under H.I.G.'s stewardship, it is poised to take advantage of the growing market opportunities and contribute significantly to the infrastructural landscape of Germany.
