There are normally early signs of a coming crisis that might threaten the viability of an organization. Based on our many years of experience, we are able to identify potential risks and initiate countermeasures within the scope of a quick check – even before a company’s results deteriorate or a liquidity crisis eventuates.

The Rücker family is handing over its dairy operations, consisting of Rücker GmbH in Aurich and Ostsee-Molkerei Wismar, to MEGGLE Holding SE, based in Wasserburg am Inn. This move should ensure that the future of the economically-sound family-owned company remains secure. WINTERGERST provided comprehensive support and advice with all aspects of the sales process. The takeover creates one of the largest privately-owned dairy operations in Germany.
WINTERGERST provided comprehensive advice to VENTA Luftwäscher GmbH, based in Weingarten (Baden-Württemberg), as part of a structured and internationally oriented M&A process. The company was sold to members of the management and the managing director and sole shareholder of Luftbefeuchtung Proklima GmbH, as they presented the most convincing concept for the future. This ensures the company’s continuity and strengthens the capital base for further growth. The takeover creates a strong alliance between two traditional brands in the air treatment sector: VENTA, which is well known in the B2C end customer business, and BRUNE, which has been established in the B2B end customer business for almost 100 years for professional air humidification and dehumidification. Both brands complement each other strategically and open up a wide range of growth prospects at home and abroad.
