With a nationwide footprint, combined expertise and a clear focus on the decarbonization of the real estate sector and energy infrastructure, FASTR is entering the next phase of growth.
EGC Energie- und Gebäudetechnik-Control becomes FASTR. With the new brand identity, the company is positioning itself nationwide as a solution-oriented and integrated energy service provider for the real estate industry, municipalities and municipal utilities. FASTR stands for long-term responsibility, reliable partnership and a sustainable energy infrastructure. This is also underpinned by the new brand claim “Energy. It stays.”
The new brand is the logical next step in the company’s comprehensive development. Over the past 25 years, EGC has built up a strong operational base with in-depth know-how in energy contracting, planning, implementation, financing and operation from a single source. This foundation is supplemented by a resilient service network and a clear focus on sustainability. The partnership with KKR entered into last year marked the beginning of a new strategic phase in which EGC is developing from a regionally established player to a market pioneer visible nationwide.
“The energy transition in the real estate industry and energy infrastructure is not decided in the strategy, but in the implementation. This is exactly what FASTR stands for: We take responsibility for the entire life cycle of a property, from planning and construction to financing and operation. Our customers don’t need additional complexity, but a partner who reduces it. FASTR makes decarbonization economically plannable and operationally manageable,” emphasizes Jean-Marc Bazenet, CEO of FASTR.
Jens Goldmund, Head of Sales at FASTR, adds: “The success of our customers is not determined by individual technologies, but by the right strategy and its consistent implementation. That’s why we see ourselves as a long-term partner who reduces complexity, enables well-founded decisions and implements solutions that are economically viable. In this way, we create added value that goes beyond the mere energy supply.”
Important first steps on the way to the new brand have already been implemented. With the appointment of Reiner Schuster as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), FASTR has strengthened its management team in a targeted manner. The renowned corporate finance expert brings more than 20 years of experience in M&A, financing, restructuring and transformation.
At the same time, the company pushed ahead with the integration of BayWa Energie Dienstleistungs GmbH. BayWa EDL will be fully absorbed into FASTR in the summer of 2026. The BayWa Energie Dienstleistungs GmbH brand will be discontinued. The company is thus bundling its activities under a uniform platform and will in future operate throughout Germany with a technology-neutral portfolio that includes heat pumps and biomass heating systems.
“With FATR, we are positioning ourselves financially stable and fit for the future. We are creating a platform that combines growth, integration and operational excellence. By combining our competencies, we can map long-term investments and scalable solutions to consistently develop our company,” says Reiner Schuster, CFO of FASTR.
FASTR does not see energy as a single product, but as a long-term infrastructure and service task. The company combines technical, economic and regulatory requirements in integrated solutions and enables effective processes, operational reliability and stable energy costs. In this way, FASTR positions itself as a partner on an equal footing for housing companies, institutional real estate investors, neighborhoods and municipalities.
