Digital Reload Group

Since 2008, we have been investing in the digital world. In 2019, we combined two of our investments (ICP Group and M&M Werbeagentur) under the umbrella “Digital Reload”.

In January 2017, Paarl bought ICP Transactions Solutions GmbH, a European specialist for innovative electronic transaction-, and sales systems headquartered in Trier. The primary business for ICP is payment solutions, e.g. payments concerning telephone cards, vouchers and gift cards.

Paarl invested alongside Operando Partners and LAUTICA GmbH and has since focussed especially on the development of the company and the integration of ICP’s subsidiaries. Furthermore, the focus on Digital Solutions has been enhanced.

To bolster the market position in Prepaid, there was an early sense of starting to look for add-on acquisitions. As the third-largest market participant, M&M seemed to be an interesting candidate early in the search. After significant synergies between the two companies had been identified, Paarl bought the companyfrom its founder in January 2019.

M&M is headquartered in Merzig and brings special competencies within the Prepaid market, especially as a logistics and service partner. The combination of the two firms has been an important step towards creating a full-service prepaid company, with the ability to cover the entire value chain.

Prominent clients of the group range from EDEKA via Lekkerland, Metro, Tesco and Netto to the lottery associations and the ADAC. From June 2019, the German Postal Service (Deutsche Post) will become an additional key client serviced by Digital Reload Group.
