Xortec GmbH (“Xortec”), headquartered in Frankfurt am Main, is strengthening its market position as a provider of network-based video surveillance and data communication solutions. With retroactive effect from January 01, 2021, Xortec has acquired Videosystems Sicherungstechnik Vertriebs GmbH (“Videosystems”) in Munich.
The cooperation between the two companies creates one of the leading distributors for video security on the German market.
“The acquisition of Videosystems is another milestone in the company’s history for Xortec and an important step for the strategic development in a sought-after growth market,” says Hubert Irka, founder and managing director of Xortec GmbH. Andreas Schlawien, Managing Director and founder of Videosystems, adds: “Through the partnership with Xortec, we can focus even more intensively on our customers and product solutions and, among other things, gain access to Xortec’s excellent logistics, which significantly increases our product availability.”
The management team will be strengthened by Michael Schaller, who joined the management of Xortec GmbH in April 2021. In addition to many years of experience as managing director in security companies, he brings the customer perspective of specialist installers to the company and, together with Andreas Schlawien, takes over the management of Videosystems.
Since January 2021, Xortec GmbH has been a participation of a fund advised by Beyond Capital Partners. “As an investment company with a focus on German-speaking SMEs, it is our goal to further expand Xortec’s market position in the DACH region through suitable acquisitions.

Holger Grelck Forstbaumschulen is one of the leading German forest nurseries for the cultivation of premium forest seedlings and grows many millions of seedlings annually on more than 100 hectares, on which a wide range of tree species, including sweet chestnut, oak, spruce, service tree and Douglas fir, are nursed. The forest tree nursery has been supplying municipalities, states as well as other nurseries and private forest owners since 1938 and has grown continuously in recent years. Our location in Halstenbek is the largest forest tree nursery region in Germany and is considered the “cradle of the forest” due to the fertile soil and optimal microclimatic conditions.
Forest tree nurseries are an important subgroup of tree nurseries and operate around 12% of Germany’s total tree nursery area. Overall, forest nurseries play a central role in the fight against climate change, as they are an integral part of the reforestation of German forests. At the same time, they enable companies to become more sustainable and achieve climate targets. Demand for seedlings for forestry plants has risen accordingly. The German forest relieves the atmosphere of 62 million tons of CO2 every year.
The aim is to further accelerate the impressive growth of Holger Grelck Forstbaumschulen together with Beyond Capital Partners and to continue its expansion through selective acquisitions.
