Inflexion backs launch of new German insurance broker

Mai 28, 2026

Inflexion, a leading European mid market private equity firm, is pleased to announce that it has invested in the launch of Mittelstands-Assekuranz-Partner (‘MAP’), a new German multi-specialist insurance broker, with Düsseldorf-based Cremer Assekuranz joining as its first strategic partner. The investment is being made by Inflexion’s Buyout Fund VI.

Headquartered in Munich and founded by industry veterans Mathias Pahl and Markus Hausberger, MAP is positioned as an integrated, technology-driven multi-specialist insurance broker for German mid-market companies, commercial clients and high-net-worth private clients. It combines regional client proximity with specialist risk advisory services and a clear focus on digitalisation and artificial intelligence.

MAP is being launched at a time of structural change in the German broking market. Mid-sized brokers face mounting pressure from succession planning challenges, the shortage of skilled professionals and rising demands around technology, digitalisation and AI. At the same time, German mid-market clients increasingly expect access to specialist insurance solutions previously reserved for large corporations, delivered with the responsiveness and personal advice they associate with their existing broker relationships.

Cremer Assekuranz, MAP’s first strategic partner, is a long-established Düsseldorf-based commercial lines broker serving regional SMEs and fine art collectors. Kolja Zweering, who has led Cremer as Managing Director since 2005, joins the MAP management team as an owner alongside founders Mathias Pahl (CEO) and Markus Hausberger (CFO).

With Inflexion’s backing, MAP will build out as a leading insurance broker across Germany. Brokers joining MAP retain their identity and entrepreneurial culture while gaining access to central infrastructure, specialist know-how, technology and growth resources. MAP will embed AI capabilities from the outset while preserving the personal, relationship-driven model that German clients value.

Inflexion brings deep sector experience to MAP, having previously backed DR&P, Bollington Wilson and most recently Ascend Broking in the UK.

We see a clear opportunity to bring that experience to the DACH region, and in MAP’s founders we have found an exceptional team with the ambition, credibility and local insight to build a leading broker for the Mittelstand.“ – Andrea Bertolini, Partner and Head of Financial Services, Inflexion

„Our ambition is to give German mid-market clients access to specialist insurance solutions previously reserved for large corporations, combined with personal advice and modern technology. With MAP, we are building a company that stands for high advisory quality, an entrepreneurial culture, and a strong range of services from the very outset. With Inflexion’s backing, we can build that proposition at pace.“ – Mathias Pahl, Chief Executive Officer, MAP

Completion of the investment is subject to customary regulatory approvals.
