Munich — Maxburg has ente­red into a part­ner­ship with Schmal­len­ber­ger Bohr­ser­vice GmbH (SCHMABO). The goal of this part­ner­ship is to support the company’s contin­ued orga­nic and inor­ga­nic growth.

SCHMABO is a specia­li­zed hori­zon­tal flush-dril­­ling rig that carries out complex rock dril­ling projects for gene­ral contrac­tors, utility opera­tors, and public clients. The company’s services are used, among other things, in infra­struc­ture projects rela­ted to the energy transition—for exam­ple, when cables need to be laid through diffi­cult terrain.

Maxburg is an owner-mana­­ged private equity firm based in Munich. Foun­ded in 2014, it focu­ses on long-term invest­ments in medium-sized compa­nies in German-spea­king count­ries (the DACH region). The firm has capi­tal commit­ments of appro­xi­m­ately 1 billion euros and has comple­ted more than 30 plat­form invest­ments to date.
