What LAGERBOX does
LAGERBOX, legally organized as Lagerbox Holding GmbH and headquartered at Hanauer Landstrasse 314 in Frankfurt am Main, is a German self-storage company founded in 1996 that operates 38 storage facilities across more than 27 German cities including Berlin (5 locations), Köln (3), Hannover (3), Dortmund, Düsseldorf, Dresden, Essen, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, and Mannheim. The company serves approximately 23,000 customers with a workforce of 51-100 employees, holding real estate and operations through a network of 34 wholly-owned subsidiary entities (Lagerbox [City] GmbH structures).
The core product is flexible self-storage units available from 1 m³, rented on monthly subscription terms without long-term commitment, backed by video surveillance and access control security systems. Ancillary services extend the offering into office space rental, mailbox rental, package acceptance, parking spaces, shelf placement, van/trailer rental, moving supplies, and storage insurance. Technology stack consists of a cloud-based self-storage management platform supporting an online Raumrechner (space calculator), real-time availability checking, online contract management, and payment processing through Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Mastercard, Visa, and Klarna; no AI/ML capabilities are disclosed. The customer base is segmented horizontally across individual consumers, students, small and medium businesses, and e-commerce businesses.
Revenue is generated primarily through recurring monthly rental subscriptions (Smart and Premium tiers starting from €50/month, with Premium including van use for both move-in and move-out) plus ancillary fees. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the company website (self-serve), phone sales (Mon-Fri 8-20h, Sat 9-17h), and on-site location sales. Marketing combines Google Ads/Remarketing, seven social media platforms, email newsletters, content marketing, and a customer referral program (Kunden Werben Kunden). In December 2025, LAGERBOX secured a €100 million loan facility from BREDS and approximately $117.5 million in financing with Blackstone Group as lead investor to fund continued operations and expansion.
