Acquisition: Mipa Group takes over Wildschek Lacke
The Germany-based Mipa Group is expanding its sales network in Austria and taking over the business of Wildschek Lacke & Farben, headquartered in Münchendorf near Vienna, with effect from 1 February 2025.
The Wildschek paint factory has been manufacturing in Vienna, Austria since 1948 and moved to its current headquarters in 2023. The company employs around 50 people at all locations. The German paint manufacturer, which has been a supplier to Wildschek for many years, is taking over the company as part of the regulated succession of the previous owner Erich Wildschek.
With a total of six retail and wholesale locations, the acquired company optimally complements the Mipa Group’s existing distribution network in Austria. In combination with independent trade partners and the existing nine locations of the Mipa Group company Henelit, the result is even more comprehensive market coverage. ‘This takeover allows us to be even closer to our customers in Austria and to serve them with high-quality products, first-class service and market-driven logistics,’ emphasises Markus Fritzsche, CEO, Mipa. The takeover strengthens the regional presence of the Mipa Group and expands the range of services for customers in Austria.
