Press Release
KBC acquires a stake in Bold Group GmbH
Over the past 13 years, KBC has grown steadily thanks to our outstanding employees and the trust of our satisfied customers. Our profile is clearer than ever. As a service provider, we have evolved to meet our customers’ exact needs. It really doesn’t get any better than this.
Absolutely! We firmly believe that a successful company must constantly question itself, keep learning, and think outside the box. Today’s market demands flexibility, fresh ideas, and courage more than ever before. Without innovation, there is no future.
This applies to KBC itself as well as to our existing and future customers. For this reason, we are pleased to announce that we are now joining forces with the renowned innovation consultancy Bold Group. KBC holds just under half of the shares in the joint venture, which was established as part of an asset deal and will continue to operate under the name “Bold,” supplemented by the addition “KBC Center for Innovation.”
For 15 years, the internationally diverse team led by founder Ralph Rettler has been dedicated to breaking away from conventional ways of thinking and working, and to using innovation as a tool for progress, efficiency, and sustainability. Bold’s clients include BASF, BMW, Shell, Siemens, and Airbus.
Back in early September, KBC and Bold moved into new offices at Streitfeldstrasse 17–19 in Munich’s newly established Art Quarter. We are very excited to now be able to combine our strengths: professional expertise and strong execution capabilities, paired with methodological expertise and innovative drive.
A combination that will benefit all of our customers!
