The product range is complemented by related services (including assembly of components and machine relocation).

The acquisition was fully supported by WINTERGERST Societät für Unternehmer-Beratung as part of an international bidding process.
Challenge
Solution
As a reliable partner for management and employees, Loxone impressed with its acquisition strategy and thus prevailed in the international investment process. The long-standing managing director will henceforth manage the operations of Ziegler + Schenk GmbH & Co. KG on his own and will become a co-partner as part of the transaction.
„I am glad that we had the Wintergerst team by our side as an experienced and professional M&A advisor who, thanks to their industry expertise and international contacts, managed to ensure a competitive and successful bidding process despite the immense challenges of the past few months.”
