H.I.G. Capital Finalizes Acquisition Agreement for TERRAS Group
On July 6, 2026, H.I.G. Capital, a leading global alternative investment firm, announced that one of its subsidiaries has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a majority stake in TERRAS Group. This acquisition is positioned to enhance H.I.G.'s offerings in the engineering and construction of infrastructure services, particularly in the sectors of mobility, energy, and digital resources in the DACH region. The co-founders of TERRAS, Dirk Sojka and Ralf Sojka, will reinvest alongside H.I.G., affirming their commitment to the company's continued development.
TERRAS Group Overview
Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Montabaur, Germany, TERRAS is among the top providers of engineering and construction services in the DACH area. The company specializes in civil infrastructure solutions, focusing on regional infrastructure, foundation engineering, railway construction, and related engineering services. Given Germany’s substantial infrastructure investment needs and the accelerating energy transition, the market environment appears ripe for further growth.
H.I.G. plans to support TERRAS's next phase of expansion by bolstering its current presence in the German market and selectively tapping into new geographical areas. "TERRAS represents the ideal type of enterprise we wish to partner with—founder-led, with a proven formula, operating in a vast and structurally attractive market," said Rohin Jain, Managing Director at H.I.G. Middle Market Europe.
Strategic Growth Potential
Germany has long faced a backlog in infrastructure investments, which presents an exceptional long-term growth opportunity for companies like TERRAS. The increasing demands for sustainable energy solutions and digital infrastructures further solidify its market position. H.I.G. aims to facilitate this growth by enhancing operational capabilities and driving performance improvements through its extensive industry knowledge.
Dirk Sojka and Ralf Sojka stated, "When we founded TERRAS, we envisioned creating a platform that encompasses the entire value chain of civil infrastructure while maintaining the entrepreneurial spirit that leads to our regional specialists' success. This vision is now becoming a reality, and we believe we are only at the beginning of our journey."
