SIKORA AG, a leading manufacturer of innovative measuring, control and sorting technologies for a wide range of industries, becomes a member of the Swiss MAAG Group, a leading international group of companies for integrated solutions in polymer processing and part of the Dover Corporation.

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2025.

SIKORA AG becomes a member of the Swiss MAAG Group.

Since founded in 1973, SIKORA has continuously developed, opened up new markets and has grown steadily. With around 450 employees in Bremen and its 13 international subsidiaries, the company offers innovative solutions and customized customer service.

“SIKORA and MAAG are connected by more than just a strategic goal: we share core values – innovative strength, entrepreneurial spirit, sustainable thinking and the clear pursuit of long-term success. We are therefore convinced that in the MAAG Group we have found the right partner for further growth and to continue our success story together,” said Harald Sikora, Company Founder and Managing Director of SIKORA HOLDING.

The cooperation between the MAAG Group and SIKORA AG opens up a wide range of technological and geographical synergies. SIKORA’s expertise in measuring and control technology ideally complements the MAAG Group’s portfolio in the areas of pump, filtration and pelletizing systems.

The regional proximity also offers advantages as both companies are represented with strong locations in the DACH region (Germany, Austria and Switzerland) and are broadly positioned internationally. This results in valuable, shared strengths and the opportunity to provide customers with even more comprehensive support and offer new solutions.

“Our shared capabilities and go-to-market strategies will generate material cross-selling benefit with a highly complementary portfolio of products and technologies, deepening our joint value proposition and integration with our OEM partners and end customers,” commented Ueli Thuerig, President MAAG Group.

Personnel continuity in the management of SIKORA AG

In the new constellation, Harald Sikora will remain associated with SIKORA AG in an advisory capacity.

The partners also rely on continuity with regard to the operational management at SIKORA. The long-standing Management Board of SIKORA AG will continue to be responsible for the company’s growth story in the future.

Dr. Christian Frank, CEO of SIKORA AG.

CEO Dr. Christian Frank has been a member of SIKORA’s Management Board for 12 years and has been Chairman of the Management Board since 2015. Dr. Frank, who holds a doctorate in industrial engineering, has proven management expertise in the aerospace and mechanical engineering industries.

Holger Lieder has been working in sales at SIKORA for 21 years and took over the position of Director Sales with responsibility for global sales in 2010. In 2023, he was appointed to the Management Board of SIKORA AG.

“Now a new chapter is beginning in which we can contribute our strengths and continue to grow with MAAG. For our employees, this transaction means security, new perspectives, and the opportunity to continue our success story together,” said Dr. Christian Frank, CEO of SIKORA.
