MEBO Sicherheit

What MEBO Sicherheit does

MEBO Sicherheit GmbH is a German privately held security services company founded in 1990 and headquartered in Bad Segeberg, Schleswig-Holstein. The company provides integrated security solutions through a 'security from one source' model, combining security technology (AJAX-based wireless alarm systems, intrusion detection, fire alarm systems, AI-enabled video surveillance, outdoor monitoring, construction site security, and access control), physical security guard services (object and facility protection, patrol services, event security), home emergency call systems for seniors and at-risk individuals, occupational safety consulting, and IT services. Its central operational asset is a VdS-certified 24/7 Notruf- und Serviceleitstelle (alarm and service monitoring center) located in Bad Segeberg, which receives alarm signals from installed systems, verifies incidents via trained staff and AI-camera pre-screening, and dispatches security personnel or emergency services.

The company operates four office locations across northern Germany — Bad Segeberg (headquarters with monitoring center and security services), Klein Rönnau (engineering, sales, marketing, administration), Hamburg, and Lübeck — and extends its reach through a partner ecosystem called MEBO Connect, comprising certified installation partners (Errichter), care service providers (Pflegedienste), architects/planners, and housing management companies. MEBO's customer base spans private households (families, seniors, Best-Agers, individuals with disabilities), SMEs, industrial and corporate clients, agricultural operations, government entities (e.g., Feuerwehr Großenaspe), and care facilities (e.g., PNT Pflegedienst's Claudiushof in Reinfeld).

MEBO generates revenue through five streams: one-time hardware sales and installation fees (alarm systems, video surveillance, access control), recurring annual subscriptions for 24/7 monitoring and alarm response, managed security guard and patrol services billed on scope and duration, professional services for occupational safety consulting, and ongoing maintenance contracts. The company holds multiple regulatory certifications (VdS W 193920, VdS E 190053, ISO 9001, §34a GewO permit, LKA Facherrichter recognition) that constitute significant barriers to entry in the German security market. Leadership is held by Managing Directors Jörg Bonkowski and Marten Bonkowski, suggesting family ownership. MEBO is currently pursuing a MEBO Vision 2030 expansion strategy that includes construction of a new monitoring center and active development of AI applications through partnerships with FH Kiel and EDIH.SH.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Loxone Electronics GmbH: Austrian/German smart-home and building-automation platform that bundles security (alarms, access, video) with broader home automation. Comparable through the smart-home security overlap, though positioned more as a smart-home incumbent than a dedicated security services provider.
• Lupus Electronics GmbH: German manufacturer of DIY/smart-home alarm and video systems with a focus on self-installation and cloud monitoring. Comparable product category but competing for the lower-touch, price-sensitive residential customer.

Broad incumbents

• ABUS Security-Center GmbH & Co. KG: Established German security hardware brand (alarm systems, video surveillance, access control) with installer network. Comparable through security technology products and certified installer programs, though ABUS primarily manufactures rather than operates its own monitoring centers.
• Securitas Deutschland: Largest international security services provider with extensive operations across Germany. Comparable through its security guarding, alarm monitoring, and integrated technology offerings, but operates at vastly greater scale and geographic breadth than MEBO.
• Bosch Sicherheitssysteme GmbH: Global manufacturer of intrusion, video, and fire-alarm systems with strong DACH presence. Comparable product portfolio (alarm panels, cameras, access control), but operates as a broad technology incumbent rather than regional integrated services provider.
• Kötter Services SE: Major German family-owned security and facility-services group offering guarding, alarm monitoring, and security technology. Directly comparable service portfolio but with national coverage and significantly larger headcount than MEBO.
• Wisag Sicherheit & Service: German facility and security services provider with alarm monitoring and guarding offerings. Comparable as a broad-based German security competitor, though security is one segment within a wider facility-management portfolio.

Direct peers

• Securiton GmbH: German security systems specialist offering intrusion, fire, and video surveillance with monitoring services. Comparable integrated offering and regional focus, positioned as a direct competitor in the DACH alarm-and-monitoring market.
• Telenot Electronic GmbH: German manufacturer and integrator of intrusion, fire, and access-control alarm systems with its own certified monitoring infrastructure. Highly comparable to MEBO in offering integrated alarm hardware, installation, and monitoring services to residential and commercial customers in the DACH region.
• Atral-Secal (Daitem) / Atral Security: German wireless alarm systems brand (formerly Daitem) under the Atral Group, specializing in intrusion detection for residential and small commercial. Comparable product offering and target customer base in the German wireless-alarm segment.
