Daifuku Group takes over Eisenmann GmbH
Eisenmann GmbH has announced the complete acquisition by Daifuku Co, Ltd (Japan). Daifuku will acquire 100% of the shares in Eisenmann GmbH from its current shareholder Nimbus Hands-on Investors (Netherlands).
Based on its long-term vision "Driving Innovative Impact 2030", the Daifuku Group is working to expand its business activities outside Japan and strengthen its competitiveness. The acquisition of Eisenmann will strengthen the Group's core business in manufacturing systems for the automotive industry. By acquiring the shares in Eisenmann, Daifuku will be able to offer even more comprehensive coverage in automotive and industrial manufacturing, especially in the field of painting technology - from quotation and planning to commissioning and after-sales support - tailored to European standards and customer-specific requirements, which is becoming increasingly important. Daifuku and Eisenmann have therefore decided to join forces and integrate Eisenmann into the Daifuku Group in order to strengthen and expand their competencies in the field of system solutions worldwide.
Daifuku and Eisenmann expect greater customer benefits
Eisenmann offers innovative automation technologies as well as its own sustainable and economical solutions in the field of painting and final assembly, which are primarily used by European manufacturers of automotive and industrial components. Daifuku, on the other hand, has a strong global presence, a broad portfolio of products and solutions, in-depth expertise in project management and a very strong research and development team. The business areas of Eisenmann and Daifuku complement each other perfectly, especially in the field of industrial painting and surface treatment systems. Through this acquisition, both Daifuku and Eisenmann expect increased customer value and greater order opportunities due to increased supply expertise as well as expanded opportunities to offer integrated systems in the automotive production sector. Eisenmann's current management and corporate culture, existing business relationships and customer-oriented approach will remain unchanged. As things stand today, the transaction is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2026.
