INBRIGHT strengthens leadership for continued growth and appoints authorized signatories

Berlin, 1 April 2025 – Real estate investor and developer INBRIGHT is continuing its growth trajectory and has strategically adjusted its organizational structure to meet rising market demands. As part of this development, Dr. Till Meister, Kateryna Bal, and Nadine Haupt have been granted power of attorney (Prokura) and will assume expanded responsibilities in corporate management. In addition, Lea Birnfeld has been promoted to Senior Project Manager, taking on further responsibility for key development projects.

With these measures, INBRIGHT is creating a more efficient organization, distributing operational responsibility across a broader base, and positioning the company for its next phase of growth. Since its founding in 2020, the company has successfully initiated light industrial and logistics projects with a total investment volume of over €500 million and a rental area of around 230,000 sqm across Germany. Further acquisitions and developments are in preparation.

Strengthening internal structures for sustainable growth

To meet the increasing requirements in project development, operations, and corporate governance, INBRIGHT is deliberately expanding responsibility in key roles.


Dr. Till Meister, an experienced Senior Project Manager and head of the flagship project LIZ Ludwigsburg, will play an even greater role in shaping the company’s strategic development. Kateryna Bal, Head of Operations, will assume a central role in managing operational processes and driving process optimization. Nadine Haupt, Head of People & Culture, will further advance INBRIGHT’s talent and culture strategy to ensure sustainable growth. All three have been granted power of attorney and will take on expanded responsibilities in corporate management. In addition, Lea Birnfeld has been promoted to Senior Project Manager, where she will lead key projects in Cologne, Friedberg, and Solingen. She will further drive growth in the project development business and unlock new regional development opportunities.

“With these steps, we are ensuring that INBRIGHT is well prepared to successfully master its next growth phase. By deliberately strengthening our leadership team, we are creating more efficient processes, faster decision-making structures, and a future-proof organization,” says Torsten Schmidt, Managing Director of INBRIGHT Development GmbH.

Light industrial remains a growth segment – driven by nearshoring and Industry 4.0

While other asset classes remain under pressure due to shifting market conditions, demand and pricing in the light industrial and logistics real estate segment remain robust. Key drivers include nearshoring – the relocation of production capacities back to Europe to minimize supply chain risks – as well as increasing automation and digital integration under Industry 4.0.
“The demand for modern, flexible production and logistics space specifically designed for digital manufacturing processes continues to rise. At the same time, both institutional investors and occupiers are placing greater emphasis on energy-efficient, ESG-compliant property solutions – particularly in economically strong regions with excellent infrastructure,” adds Managing Director Schmidt.

Sustainable repositioning instead of land consumption

Through its “Transform to Green” strategy, INBRIGHT focuses on revitalizing existing commercial properties rather than sealing new land. By carrying out energy-efficient refurbishments, the company reduces carbon footprints while optimizing cost structures. At the same time, INBRIGHT is advancing the development of light industrial space in Germany’s strongest economic regions, creating properties tailored to the needs of Industry 4.0. In doing so, the company contributes to resource conservation while easing pressure on the market.

Our Contribution to the sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted in 2015 by the member states of the United Nations.
They set a road map for the sustainable social, economic and environmental transformation of our world by 2030.

The SDGs also offer us as a company a framework for contributing to a positive future for the world. Our ESG strategy is our contribution to tackling the greatest worldwide challenges, especially to achieving the following SDGs:

We respect diversity, a fair pay and participation structure and the indivdual promotion of out team members, thus contributing to equality of opportunity.

Economic success and a profitable investment strategy are for us the foundation for securing attractive jobs in the long term and contributing to healthy economic growth.

We promote a low-emission infrastructure by locating our properties close to existing residential areas, offering our tenants access to public transport. We modernise and reposition old industrial and commercial properties to make their use lower in emissions, cleaner and more flexible, thus making a noticeable contribution to sustainable industry.

When building and repairing our properties, we are careful to use innovative and engery-efficient systems so as to aviod unnecessary environmental pressures on the surrounding area. Wherever compatible with legislation and the comfort demands of our users, we reduce technical equipment to a minimum to promote the longevity of our properties.

We align both our company and our property projects to ESG criteria. This includes planning our properties in a way that is sparing of resources and ensures them a long useful life with maximum flexibility. We also maintain open interactions in the spirit of partnership with all those involved – from planners and building firms through to the eventual user.

Reducing emissions, especially CO2 emissions, has a high priority for us within our ESG strategy. We as a company aim to reduce and compensate for our CO2 footprint to make the most effective contribution we can to protecting the climate.

How we derived Our ESG strategy

In an initial workshop, we first developed core values for our company. The development of an ESG strategy for INBRIGHT is based on this: main topics were determined and validated based on a fixed evaluation scheme in a two-day workshop. On the one hand, the topics result from the requirements of national and international industry standards and frameworks, such as DGNB, LEED and GRESB, and, on the other hand, from general sustainability standards, such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and the Sustainable Development Goals. The list of topics was ultimately supplemented by specific industry requirements from the Light Industrial area. The collection of topics was classified based on a fixed evaluation scheme in a materiality assessment using a two-dimensional matrix with the dimensions “Relevance to business” and “Effects on the government and society”. The topics with the highest values in both dimensions, and hence being above the materiality threshold, form the basis of our ESG strategy or our sustainability programme. The materiality assessment is revalidated annually with the participation of internal and external stakeholders and the assessment of the topics is adjusted accordingly.
