Since it launched in 2010, durchblicker has been an impressive start-up success story and has evolved into of Austria’s most popular and most trusted brands. The company, brand name and the team in Austria will be retained by the new owners.

Following the acquisition, Netrisk is now active across five European countries with a total population of 37 million and an addressable market of 30 million auto insurance contracts, the group’s leading product category. Netrisk has now completed six acquisitions since December 2019, enhancing the company’s position in insurance and expanding it across other comparison categories, such as banking products, energy and telecom. In 2021, Netrisk companies brokered or renewed over 2 million contracts across all products.

Robert Sokolowski, Group CEO, said: “Today we welcome our new colleagues from durchblicker to Netrisk and begin a new chapter that will help us better serve our customers. We are proud to be a family of seven fast-growing OPC brands which together welcomed around 2 million monthly visits in 2021.”

Dávid Kárpáti, director of corporate development at Netrisk Group, added: “Having durchblicker onboard will help Netrisk further enhance its Central and Eastern European online price comparison leadership. We serve a growing and international market where OPC penetration is less than 20%. As a result, we are well positioned to grow for years to come.”

“We are impressed by what durchblicker has achieved over the past twelve years and we are excited to see its continued success within Netrisk Group. With this latest acquisition, the Netrisk Group continues its strategy of creating a strong international platform for online price comparisons in Central Europe,” said Maxime Cancre, Director at TA Associates.
