Deals: PDR Joins The Solvd Group

The latest update from the Solvd Group;

The Solvd Group, one of the world’s leading companies in digital claims and repair management, officially announces that PDR & Careoss Group of Mutlangen (Baden-Württemberg, Germany) are joining the Solvd Group following a successful legal closing. As hail events become more frequent and severe due to climate change, this move adds a decisive component to the Allianz Partners mobility ecosystem: the physical repair of vehicles in large-scale hail loss events – the most complex and unpredictable scenario in claims and repair management.

Solvd Group is part of Allianz’s Connected Platforms strategy – alongside Allianz Partners and Allianz Direct – combining insurance expertise, AI-enhanced technologies and a global network of service providers to deliver an omni-channel and ultra-personalized customer experience. To strengthen collaboration between Solvd Group and the Mobility business of Allianz Partners, Allianz has unified all Mobility activities under shared leadership as of January 2026.

Climate Change Increases Pressure on the Market – PDR-Team and Solvd Group Deliver the Answer

Hailstorms are becoming more frequent and more intense due to climate change: 2023 was the most damaging hail year on record – around 470,000 damaged vehicles and nearly 2 billion euros in costs (source: GDV). And experts agree it was not an outlier, but a taste of what is to come. In the German market, around 50 percent of those affected opt for a cash payout instead of a repair after hail damage. Over more than a decade, PDR-Team has proven how to change that: through digital solutions that make the path to repair so fast and simple that more customers take it.

And when a claim does occur, PDR-Team delivers not just in theory: with mobile repair centers that are operational directly at the damage site within 48 hours and reliably handle even exceptionally high claim volumes. For more than 10 years, PDR-Team has delivered top-quality services. As part of the Solvd Group, this strength is now being scaled globally and the end-to-end claims experience is being further expanded.

The Solvd Group’s E2E Ecosystem

The Solvd Group brings together the companies ControlExpert, GT Motive and Innovation Group under one roof, employing more than 3,700 experts with over 100 years of combined industry experience. With more than 150 AIpowered solutions and a presence in more countries than any other company of its kind, Solvd pursues a clear vision:

Becoming the world’s leading Mobility One-stop shop offering “peace of mind” for our customers along the end-to-end accident, repair and breakdown journey. In concrete terms: claims settlement in under one day, fully digital, seamless and reliable, enhanced by Allianz Partner’s Mobility offerings in Motor insurance and Assistance.

With the integration of PDR-Team, this ecosystem grows by a decisive component: the physical repair of vehicles in largescale hail loss events – the most complex and unpredictable scenario in claims and repair management. A further building block on the path to a complete platform-based end-to-end solution.
