Munich — Etri­bes Group GmbH acqui­res 100% of the shares in COBE GmbH.
COBE GmbH offers speci­ally deve­lo­ped, brand-speci­­fic UX iden­tity methods (UXi) and thus expands the imple­men­ta­tion exper­tise of Etri­bes’ digi­tal consul­ting deut-
lich. Green­Gate Part­ners advi­sed the share­hol­ders of COBE GmbH on the sale of all ge-
busi­ness shares.

COBE GmbH is a specia­list in UI/UX design and soft­ware deve­lo­p­ment with around 90 full-time employees spread across Munich and Osijek (Croa­tia). Since its foun­ding in 2012, COBE — Crea­tors Of Beau­tiful Expe­ri­en­ces — has supported a range of corpo­rate clients from ProSiebenSat.1 and Voda­fone to Bosch, BMW and REWE in the deve­lo­p­ment of digi­tal products. In doing so, the company combi­nes a user-cente­­red design approach with proprie­tary, brand-speci­­fic UX iden­tity (UXi) methods.
With the inte­gra­tion of the UX/UI design and product deve­lo­p­ment agency COBE into the Etri­bes Group, Etri­bes has signi­fi­cantly streng­the­ned its imple­men­ta­tion exper­tise in the areas of UX/UI design, service design, web and mobile deve­lo­p­ment. Toge­ther, COBE and Etri­bes are even more attrac­tive for DAX corpo­ra­ti­ons and German SMEs.

As part of the tran­sac­tion, Green­Gate Part­ners advi­sed the sellers on the sale of their shares in COBE GmbH to Etri­bes Group GmbH.
