Mergers & Acquisitions

Strategic growth through M&A – a veritable success story.

Tempton pursues a distinct and exceptionally successful growth strategy: 50% of growth is achieved organically, while 50% is achieved through targeted acquisitions. Our focus lies on acquiring competitors in challenging situations – often those facing insolvency or other economic instability, and sometimes as part of corporate succession planning. Since 2018, Tempton has developed remarkably: our revenue has increased from €200 million to just under €450 million, our workforce has increased from around 6,000 to over 11,000, and our branch network has doubled to over 200 locations.

With its own highly professional M&A department, Tempton has an excellent network in the market – especially with renowned insolvency administrators, restructuring consultants, and M&A advisors. Between 2018 and 2025 alone, we have acquired more than 70 personnel service providers with over 2,000 employees and successfully merged them into the Tempton Group – in some cases with entire offices, but frequently also simply by offering internal and external staff as well as the customer base a new professional home at Tempton.

Our commitment goes far beyond mere acquisition: We invest substantially and sustainably in the acquired structure and allow the sellers to share in our success under very fair terms. Our goal is to offer the acquired entities economic stability, clear prospects, and—perhaps most importantly—a firm place in our owner-run corporate culture.

Many managers of acquired entities now hold senior positions at Tempton, and in many cases have done so for years – a strong sign of trust and long-term success.

Voices from the acquired companies – What our partners say:

Christian Schmalen

"During our integration into Tempton, it was particularly important to me that we were able to retain almost all of our internal and external colleagues – more than 1,000 people. Despite the size of the company, I felt the spirit of a family business at Tempton from day one: short decision-making processes, a strong sense of community, and a feeling of belonging that continues to this day."

“After some turbulent times, I immediately felt very at home at Tempton. The team and my colleagues approached me with open arms and created an atmosphere that was almost like family.”
