- 3U Holding AG operates as a publicly listed management and holding company headquartered in Marburg, Germany, founded in 1997. The company focuses on three core business segments: Information and Telecommunications Technology (ITC), Renewable Energies, and Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC). In the ITC segment, 3U provides voice retail, business voice services, data center operations, and the development, distribution, and operation of cloud-based customer relationship management (CRM) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions, as well as trading in IT licenses and document security software solutions. The Renewable Energies segment involves the development of wind power projects, operation of wind and solar energy plants, and electricity generation. The HVAC segment, the primary revenue driver, distributes and installs components of air conditioning, heating, and sanitary systems through its e-commerce platform Selfio, targeting wholesalers, craftsmen, and do-it-yourself consumers.
In recent developments, 3U Holding AG significantly expanded its HVAC segment with the acquisition of EMPUR Produktionsgesellschaft mbH and its sister companies GKS GmbH & Co. KG and EM-Plan GmbH in early 2025. This acquisition enhances 3U’s vertical integration in the surface heating systems market and strengthens its system supplier position under the EMPUR brand. The company has also secured a long-term commercial property in Buchholz-Mendt to support the expansion of its HVAC operations. Additionally, 3U continues to invest strategically in Bitcoin as part of its treasury management, increasing its holdings to over 330 Bitcoins. Financially, 3U reported a consolidated revenue growth of 6.5% to EUR 55.8 million in 2024 with an EBITDA margin of 6.8%, surpassing forecasts, and anticipates continued expansion despite challenging market conditions.
3U Holding AG serves markets mainly in Germany with a network of 12 locations and employs over 240 individuals. It targets small and medium-sized enterprises (SMBs) in digitalization through ITC services, renewable energy producers and consumers in the clean energy sector, and various customer segments in HVAC including commercial and residential users. The company emphasizes sustainable growth through its diversification in megatrends such as digitalization, renewable energy, and e-commerce, positioning itself for envisioned leadership in its business areas by 2026 and supporting its subsidiaries' growth plans, including the planned IPO of Selfio SE.
This comprehensive product and service portfolio combined with recent strategic investments and operational growth positions 3U Holding AG as a diversified provider within the nexus of IT, energy, and building technology sectors, with a stable financial base and targeted expansion initiatives in place.
