Having received all regulatory approvals, Vienna Insurance Group (VIG) completed the acquisition of NÜRNBERGER Beteiligungs-AG (Nürnberger), the Group said in its statement. Diversification through the German market is seen as a growth driver for the core CEE market.

In summer 2025, VIG announced that it was evaluating the acquisition of a majority stake in Nürnberger. Following a due diligence process, a voluntary public purchase offer for up to 100% of the share capital was made in October 2025. Upon completion, VIG holds 99.2% of the share capital and voting rights in Nürnberger.

“We are delighted that we managed to obtain the approvals faster than expected. We will contribute VIG’s expertise to the strategic direction of Nürnberger and position it as a leading provider of biometric solutions also within our Group. With its strong brand, Nürnberger enriches our broad portfolio of companies and supports our sustainable growth strategy in the core CEE market via increased diversification through the German market”, commented Hartwig Löger, CEO and Chairman of the Managing Board of VIG.

“As part of Vienna Insurance Group, we will significantly accelerate our transformation into a prevention insurer — a strong positioning from which our customers, our sales partners and our employees will benefit. We very much look forward to starting our collaboration and taking the first joint steps”, said Harald Rosenberger, CEO of Nürnberger.
