Leadership Shake-up at MRH Trowe & Lurse's Upper Echelons
In a significant move, German consulting firm MRH Trowe has announced a series of strategic acquisitions that are set to bolster its position in the insurance industry and make it one of the top 3 consultants for pensions, benefits, and compensation.
The acquisitions, which are expected to be finalized in the near future, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions, include the merger with Heubeck AG, a leading consultancy in the same field. MRH Trowe has acquired all shares in Heubeck AG from the founding family, S-PensionsManagement GmbH, and other shareholders.
The merger with Heubeck AG is complemented by the acquisition of Lurse AG, one of the leading insurance brokers in Germany, and Lürse's acquisition of a majority stake in Mensch & Kuhnert GmbH, based in Blaustein near Ulm. The acquisition of Mensch & Kuhnert GmbH strengthens Lürse's business area in pension appraisals, expert work in the field of company pension schemes, and the management of pension schemes. The acquisition of Lurse AG, announced by AnaCap, further solidifies MRH Trowe's position in the insurance brokerage sector.
The merger between MRH Trowe and Heubeck AG will see Norman Dreger, who has been Managing Partner at MRH Trowe & Lürse since February 2025 and has headed the actuarial services division, appointed as the spokesman for the management team, with overall responsibility effective July 1, 2025. Frank Zagermann and Rainald Meyer will lead the administration department together, with Meyer also taking on management tasks in the consulting department with a focus on the German market.
Dr. Tina Heubeck is responsible for the integration of MRH Trowe & Lürse and Heubeck, as well as the Functions division. Susanna Adelhardt, CEO of Heubeck AG, will take over responsibility for actuarial topics in the management team. Carsten Ganz is head of the Insured Pension & Benefits department at MRH Trowe & Lurse, while Maximilian Evers holds the position of Head of HR Consulting and Benchmarking.
Edelmann, the former CEO of MRH Trowe, will move to the Supervisory Board of MRH Trowe, and will remain Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Heubeck AG and a member of the Board of Directors of the international Benefits & Pensions consulting network MBWL.
These acquisitions are expected to expand MRH Trowe's market presence and services in the occupational pensions market, positioning the company for continued growth and success in the future.
The acquisition of Heubeck AG, a leading consultancy in the insurance industry, by MRH Trowe, coupled with the purchase of Lurse AG, a prominent insurance broker, and Mensch & Kuhnert GmbH, reinforces MRH Trowe's leadership in the insurance brokerage sector and pensions business. The merger and acquisitions are strategic moves aimed at expanding MRH Trowe's market presence and services in the occupational pensions market, paving the way for continued growth and success in the industry.
