The HBC Group and Consulio Pension GmbH are taking the next step: the merger will create an alliance that combines scientific excellence, renowned references and more than two decades of experience with the reach and innovative strength of the HBC Group.
Consulio is one of the leading consulting firms in the German market for occupational pension solutions and will play an even greater role within the HBC Group in future. The aim is to offer employers in Germany the most modern and attractive pension and benefit solutions – and thus set the benchmark in occupational pensions.
Consulio Pension GmbH will continue under the management of Stefan Neumer and Christian Burr. This means that customers and partners will continue to benefit from the company's extensive expertise and personalised service. As a future shareholder in the HBC Group, Stefan Neumer also plans to take on an active role at group level and contribute his market strategy experience to the further development of the network. The coordination and further development of occupational pension consulting within the group will particularly benefit from his expertise.
"Our vision has always been to make employers so strong that they are among the most attractive employers in their industry. With HBC at our side and in the interests of our clients, we are establishing this vision as the benchmark in occupational pension provision. For our clients, this means the expertise they are accustomed to, familiar contact persons – and, in addition, new impetus from a strong network. My team and I were fully involved in the due diligence process from the outset, and together we made the decision to go with HBC."
– Stefan Neumer, Managing Director, Consulio Pension GmbH
The reasons are obvious: companies today face major challenges – from skills shortages and supply gaps to digitalisation and efficiency improvements. Together, Consulio and HBC provide practical answers and create real added value and employee loyalty for employers.
‘With Consulio, we are not only gaining an experienced specialist, but also a driving force that is redefining the standards for occupational pension provision in Germany. Together, we are setting the benchmark for employer attractiveness, security and innovation. And even companies that are already served by HBC brokers will be able to access Consulio's expertise directly in future – a real added value for the entire group.’
– Christoph Rupp, Head of M&A, HBC Group
‘With Consulio, we are gaining a proven specialist broker for occupational pension schemes, which adds another important piece to our pension strategy puzzle. Consulio's strong expertise and know-how are an excellent fit with our existing units and enable us to offer employers even more tailored solutions with real added value. Welcome on board, dear Consulio team!’
– Johannes Schmidt, Chief Operating Officer, HBC Group
