What WENZA EWIV Europäische Wirtschaftliche InteressenVereinigung does

WENZA EWIV Europäische Wirtschaftliche InteressenVereinigung is the legal entity behind the Protekto Gruppe, a privately held German group of two legally independent companies (Protekto Deutschland GmbH, HRB 178268, Hamburg; and Protekto Plus GmbH, HRB 212223, Tostedt) founded in 2014 and headquartered in Hamburg. Operating under the tagline 'Für den Menschen' (For the Person), the group delivers occupational health, occupational safety, and data protection/IT security services to more than 4,000 companies across Germany, ranging from solo self-employed professionals to enterprises with over 10,000 employees.

The service portfolio is structured around a '360° Care Concept' bundling 114 modular offerings across three primary lines: Betriebsarzt (occupational medicine including preventive examinations, absence management, occupational reintegration, and the GesundheitPlus sub-brand covering psychosocial counseling, medical second opinion, and immune fitness programs); Arbeitsschutz (occupational safety covering hazard assessments, fire and electrical safety inspections, training, and ASA meetings); and Datenschutz (GDPR compliance, data protection audits, HinSchG whistleblower portal, cybersecurity checks, and IT security concepts). Service delivery combines a nationwide field force executing 6,750+ on-site assignments annually, a telephone consultation desk available weekdays 8 AM–5 PM, and digital channels including e-learning modules and a self-serve online needs calculator.

The business operates on a regulated subscription and professional services model. Occupational health fees are calculated per DGUV Vorschrift 2 formulas (employees × hazard factor × physician share × hourly rate), with typical pricing of €20–€60 per employee per year and examples as low as €25/month for small offices. Additional streams (safety, data protection, IT security, HinSchG) are billed as modular professional services. Customer retention is stated at >80%, and the group holds TÜV SÜD ISO 9001:2015 certification. Marketing is driven by content (blog, webinars, free practice guides), SEO for German regulatory keywords, and direct sales; distribution relies on a ProNet partner network managed by Protekto Plus GmbH alongside direct field and inside sales channels. No external investors, PE/VC backing, or public listing is disclosed.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Sanvartis GmbH: Telemedicine and digital health service provider offering second-opinion and teleconsultation services (e.g., ZweitStimme Gesundheit-style offerings); adjacent overlap with Protekto's digital GesundheitPlus modules and emerging threat of digital-first entrants.

Direct peers

• ias-Gruppe (ias health & safety): Major German provider of occupational health, safety and psychosocial risk management services, serving enterprise customers nationwide with a similar DGUV Vorschrift 2-aligned offering and recurring per-employee contracts.
• Prevent AG: German occupational safety and health management consulting firm offering risk assessments, ASA coordination and DGUV compliance support, comparable in size and SMB focus to Protekto.
• AMD TÜV Arbeitsmedizinischer Dienst: TÜV-affiliated occupational medicine and workplace safety provider with comparable Betriebsarzt, Arbeitsschutz and Vorsorge services across Germany, frequently competing for the same SMB and mid-market DGUV-compliant mandates.
• MedicalContact AG: German occupational medicine provider delivering Betriebsarzt services, arbeitsmedizinische Vorsorge and corporate health programs; competes head-to-head with Protekto for SMB and enterprise DGUV contracts.
• BAD Gesundheitsvorsorge und Sicherheitstechnik GmbH: Germany's largest integrated occupational health (Betriebsarzt) and occupational safety provider, offering the same multi-domain service catalog (Arbeitsschutz, Brandschutz, Datenschutz) to SMB and enterprise customers; the most directly comparable competitor to Protekto.

Regional players

• BG BAU – Berufsgenossenschaft der Bauwirtschaft: German statutory accident insurance for the construction sector, providing DGUV-compliant occupational safety guidance and Vorsorge support; not a direct for-profit competitor but sets baseline service expectations for construction clients that Protekto serves.
• Arbeitsmedizinischer und Sicherheitstechnischer Dienst (ASD) Bavaria: Regional Bavarian occupational medicine and safety service provider offering DGUV Vorschrift 2-aligned services; competing in the same SMB market but limited geographic overlap with Protekto's nationwide footprint.

Broad incumbents

• DEKRA Industrial Germany: Large testing, inspection and certification body that also offers occupational safety consulting, electrical safety testing and related services; broader portfolio than Protekto but overlapping in core safety/inspection use cases.
• TÜV SÜD Management Service GmbH: Global TIC company providing safety, occupational health and ISO management system consulting; competes with Protekto in Arbeitsschutz, ISO 9001 and compliance consulting, with much broader geographic and service footprint.
