New chapter for OEGE Trading: The Platform Group becomes strategic majority investor

We are pleased to announce that OEGE Trading and The Platform Group (TPG) have reached a strategic milestone: TPG is acquiring a majority stake in OEGE Trading with effect from June 2024. This step opens up numerous new opportunities for the further development of our company, for our employees and for our B2B customers. The transaction was completed in summer 2024.

In recent years, OEGE Trading has reached a size where it has become increasingly important to have a strong partner at our side. This is why The Platform Group will be supporting us in many key areas in the future.

Start of a new growth phase

For our Managing Director Özcan Gölyeri, one thing is certain: “After more than two decades in the eCommerce and B2B business, we are delighted to have gained a strong partner in TPG. This will enable us to expand our B2B online portals, grow internationally and reach significantly more B2B customers.”

Added value for our customers

Our customers are also clearly in focus: OEGE Trading remains your reliable B2B partner in eCommerce – but now with even stronger platform expertise. By integrating into the TPG Group, we are consistently expanding our online portals, internationalizing our offerings and improving our services. This combination of retail and logistics expertise and state-of-the-art platform technology creates tangible benefits for you as a customer: faster processes, better data and process quality as well as expanded product ranges and contact options.

Advantages for employees

There are also many advantages for our employees. We are no longer just a medium-sized company, but part of a large, internationally active group. This creates more development opportunities, internal career paths and group-wide job changes. We also benefit from structured processes and new training courses, for example in the field of artificial intelligence. In addition, new internal company offers and TPG meeting and event formats open up further opportunities for us to work in a faster, more networked and more structured way in the long term.

What sets The Platform Group apart

The Platform Group is a fast-growing technology company based in Düsseldorf that operates online platforms in numerous sectors and supports companies with digitalization. The combination of TPG’s platform and software expertise and our retail and logistics expertise creates a strong foundation for further growth and innovation.

Our management will remain unchanged, and cooperation with customers and partners will continue without interruption. For our business partners, the takeover primarily means continuity, combined with new technological possibilities and extended services.

A look into the future

We look forward to this collaboration with great confidence. Together with The Platform Group, we will make our processes more digital, our services more efficient and our offering even more tailored to the needs of our customers.

We are looking forward to the future together – with new opportunities and a clear focus on sustainable growth.
