Mobispace Gmbh

What Mobispace Gmbh does

Mobispace GmbH, headquartered in Darmstadt, Germany, designs and delivers modular timber school buildings offered primarily through a fixed-price rental model known as 'Schule out of the box'. Founded in 2023 and majority-owned (51%) by Finnish modular building leader Parmaco Group Oy since February 2024, the company targets German municipalities and public Schulträger facing acute school space shortages, Ganztagsbetreuung mandates, and aging building stock. Customers include Kreis Bergstraße, Stadt Heppenheim, Gemeinde Groß-Zimmern, and private schools such as Sabine-Ball-Schule Darmstadt and Waldorfschule Weilheim, with eight reference projects documented to date.

The core product is the proprietary mobispace® Holzmodulbau-System, a standardized wooden modular building system with up to 90% factory prefabrication, combinable room units from 60 m² scalable up to three-storey buildings, and modules reusable up to four times across locations. Technical differentiators include transportable modules under 3 meters wide, a waterless decentralized heat pump ventilation concept, PV rooftop integration, modular cabin lifts, and compliance with DIN 18040-1 (accessibility) and DIN 18041 (acoustics). Manufacturing is conducted by partner Baumgarten Holzbau in Fulda.

Mobispace operates a direct enterprise field-sales model with no intermediaries, generating revenue through multi-year rental contracts (minimum 5 years) covering planning, construction, operation, and maintenance, with optional purchase or Mietkauf alternatives. The company also offers modular Mensa solutions (80-200 seats), interim schools, and workshop-based procurement support for municipal buyers. Its primary go-to-market channels include a content-rich blog, an Expert Talk webinar series, and presence at industry trade fairs (SCHULBAU, Modulbaukongress, Deutsche KlimaManagementTagung).
