Since 2020, The Platform Group has pursued an active buy-and-build strategy, completing more than 25 investments and acquisitions to broaden its industry footprint and expand its partner ecosystem. This history shows a transition from a long-standing family retail heritage into a multi-vertical platform group. ([the-platform-group.com](https://the-platform-group.com/en/unternehmen/)) In recent disclosures, the company describes its activities as spanning 26 to 28 industries depending on the reporting date, with exposure to furniture retail, machinery trading, dental technology, optics & hearing, automotive platforms, luxury fashion, pet supplies, and selected enterprise software services, including the fintus SaaS business in financial institutions. The group says it has more than 16,000 partners and 19 locations across Europe, giving it a meaningful continental presence while Germany remains its core market and operational base.

Its strengths lie in vertical specialization, the ability to integrate acquisitions, and the monetization of local retail networks through a scalable technology stack. Management has also emphasized improving profitability, with adjusted EBITDA margin expansion visible through 2025.

In November 2025, the company reported nine-month 2025 results showing GMV of EUR 902.1 million, revenue of EUR 531.6 million, and adjusted EBITDA of EUR 45.8 million, while confirming guidance. In January 2026, preliminary full-year 2025 figures indicated revenue of EUR 728 million and adjusted EBITDA of EUR 55 million, alongside higher margin and lower leverage.
