MBB SE is a listed, family-led German industrial holding company headquartered in Berlin, founded in 1995 as Nesemeier and Freimuth GmbH and listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange since 2006 (Prime Standard from 2008). It permanently acquires and develops medium-sized German and DACH Mittelstand companies from its own balance sheet as an evergreen holding, without a fixed fund life.
