Tricer Management Gmbh

What Tricer Management Gmbh does

Tricer Management GmbH is a Gevelsberg-headquartered, founder-led German professional services firm founded in 2012 that provides independent project management, procurement management, location analysis, conceptual design, and real estate valuation services for commercial real estate projects. The firm serves enterprise clients — including Amazon, DHL, Kuehne+Nagel, ProLogis, Verdion, REWE, Baytree, and Avnet — across logistics, manufacturing, transshipment/hub, and retail/trade sectors, with active engagements primarily in Germany and the Benelux region and selected projects in France and Sweden. Its core positioning is independence from any construction firm or developer, allowing it to act as an unbiased client representative from site selection through warranty enforcement.

The firm's service portfolio is structured as five discrete modules — Standortanalyse (Location Study), Konzeptberatung (Conceptual Design), Vergabemanagement (Procurement Management), Projektmanagement (Project Management), and Objektanalyse (Real Estate Valuation) — delivered either as an integrated package or as separate engagements. A related operating entity, tricer project GmbH, supports delivery alongside the management company. The team of approximately 12 professionals is composed of civil engineers, architects, and procurement specialists, with pedigrees at leading German turnkey constructors (Goldbeck, Köster) and logistics developers (ProLogis, Variolog). A dedicated TGA (Technical Building Equipment) capability was added in 2023.

Tricer earns revenue through professional service fees on project engagements, typically structured as custom B2B contracts negotiated directly with enterprise clients. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; engagement value is driven by project scale, with logistics facilities frequently exceeding 50,000 m² of hall space (e.g., Amazon Werne at 97,400 m², Avnet Bernburg at 46,400 m², Verdion Gallin at 52,503 m²). Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales supported by repeat-client referrals, a multi-language website portfolio (German, English, Dutch), and selective industry event participation. The company is privately held by its two managing directors, Thomas Kersenbrock and Markus Saatkamp, with no external institutional capital, and operates from its Gevelsberg headquarters and a secondary office in Münster.

Direct peers

• Turner & Townsend: Global construction and real estate consultancy offering independent project management, cost management, and program oversight. Comparable to Tricer in the independent-PM positioning for commercial real estate and logistics, though typically serving much larger enterprise programs.
• Drees & Sommer: German-headquartered independent real estate and infrastructure consultancy providing project management, cost consulting, and technical advisory across Europe. Directly comparable to Tricer in its independent PM offering for commercial real estate, but operates at far greater scale with thousands of staff.
• Gleeds: UK-headquartered global independent construction and property consultancy with offices across Europe. Provides PM, cost consultancy, and advisory services for commercial real estate projects, directly comparable to Tricer's independent PM model.
• Rider Levett Bucknall (RLB): International independent construction consultancy providing cost management, project management, and advisory services. Comparable in offering independent PM for commercial real estate developers and occupiers, including logistics/industrial segments.

Broad incumbents

• Arcadis: Global design, engineering, and project management consultancy with strong European footprint in real estate advisory and PM. Overlaps with Tricer on industrial/logistics real estate engagements through its Mobility and Resilience divisions, though Arcadis operates across many verticals.
• AECOM Cost & Project Management: Global infrastructure consultancy with a dedicated cost and PM practice serving commercial real estate clients across Europe. Comparable in providing independent PM and construction advisory for large logistics/industrial portfolios.
• JLL (Project & Development Services): Global real estate services firm whose PDS division delivers project management for logistics, industrial, and commercial occupiers. Comparable in serving enterprise occupiers (Amazon, DHL) for warehouse and logistics build-outs across Europe.
• CBRE (Project Management): Global real estate advisory with substantial European PM practice serving logistics and industrial occupiers. Comparable in providing owner-side PM for warehouse and distribution center programs across multiple geographies.

Emerging players

• Goldbeck GmbH: German turnkey construction firm and dominant player in turnkey logistics real estate. Not a direct competitor (it builds rather than independently PMs), but a foundational employer for Tricer's leadership team and a major indirect comparable for the DACH turnkey-logistics ecosystem.
• Köster GmbH: German turnkey construction firm specializing in logistics, industrial, and commercial properties. While primarily a builder rather than independent PM, multiple Tricer project managers (Klein, Buscholl) joined from Köster, making it a key source of cultural and technical DNA and an indirect comparable for the German turnkey-logistics market.
