In the first quarter of 2021, the shareholders Jörg Dahms and Patric de Valk sold their shares in TriOpt-Group to Deutsche Infrastruktur und Netzgesellschaft mbH (DING), a portfolio company of Deutsche Beteiligungs AG (DBAG).

DING, based in Bochum, is one of the leading service and general contractors nationwide and covers the entire value chain in the field of fibre optics, from planning to construction, operation and leasing of dark fibre networks.

"We are pleased that with the TriOpt Group we were able to advise a very dynamic German market player in the field of planning, realisation and optimisation of radio and fixed networks on the sale of the company. A positive performance of the business during the sales process also provided impetus. The industry continues to be exciting as more market participants strengthen themselves specifically through acquisitions and consolidate the market."

Rolf Martin Blume, DZ BANK

"Due to the project start in the middle of the first Corona lockdown, we were not able to get to know our clients face-to-face until the process was well underway. Despite the initially purely virtual encounters, however, the relationship was always characterised by great trust, enabling us to achieve our clients' personal and economic goals together."
