Two co-investors – Dietmar Wohlfart and Stephan Huber, who have experience in company management – have also participated in the buyout.

The company has been under the ownership of Andreas Wagner since 1999, when he bought 100% of the shares from founder Lothar Weisshaar. Wagner invested in new production technologies and concentrated the company on four strategic business areas.
