Maba!

What Maba! does

Maba! Maler- und Ausbauwerkstätten GmbH is a privately held German Handwerk (skilled trades) contractor headquartered at Christian-Friedrich-Schwan-Straße 5-7 in Mannheim, Baden-Württemberg, founded in 1995 and led by Managing Directors Hannes Brandtstädter and Dr. Daniel Häussermann. The company operates as a one-stop-shop multi-trade renovation provider serving private individuals, commercial and industrial customers, property managers (Hausverwaltungen), public-sector clients, and architects — primarily across the Rhein-Neckar metropolitan region with stated nationwide Germany execution for select projects. Its certified workforce of approximately 100 employees delivers an integrated service portfolio spanning painting and varnishing, electrical installations (including KNX building automation, alarm and fire alarm systems), dry construction, facade renovation, ETICS thermal insulation, SIVV-certified concrete repair, balcony renovation, flooring, complete renovation, and water damage restoration under a single point-of-contact delivery model.

Operationally, Maba! differentiates on regulatory credentials that gate access to German public tenders and specialized work: PQ VOB prequalification (registration 001.702012 with VMC GmbH since 2012), SIVV certification for concrete repair (held by all masters in the concrete restoration department, requalified every 3 years), and TRGS 519 certification for asbestos remediation. The firm supplements its own in-house teams with specialist subcontractors (metalwork, plumbing, windows) it has partnered with for up to 26 years, enabling multi-trade project delivery. Its electrical engineering department was established internally in 2010 as a second core competency beyond painting.

The revenue model is straightforward project-based services: on-site consultation, individual quotes, transparent invoicing at fair market prices, with no hidden costs. Distribution is direct field sales with on-site assessment targeting enterprise buyers (industrial, public sector, architects) and SMB/consumer buyers. Pricing is non-public and quote-driven; revenue figures are not disclosed. Marketing is website-led (maba-gmbh.de) with a careers portal on Personio (maba.jobs.personio.de), and the company maintains strategic industry-association ties with VDIV KPS LV BW (Baden-Württemberg property managers) and Metropolregion Rhein-Neckar. There is no evidence of external investment, parent company ownership, or pending M&A; the business remains founder-/management-owned.
