Brückner Group acquires machine and plant manufacturer Hennecke GROUP
The Brückner Group has acquired the Hennecke GROUP, which will expand the company’s global portfolio to include key technologies for machines, plants, and systems used in the processing of polyurethane (PUR).
Hennecke GROUP offers a wide range of machines and systems for PUR processing.
The agreement between the Brückner Group and a fund advised by Capvis AG, Switzerland, as the majority owner of the Hennecke GROUP, was concluded on December 3, 2025. The transaction will be completed at the beginning of January 2026.
“With Hennecke, we’ve gained a highly specialized addition to our portfolio. Acquiring another market leader in technology enhances the Brückner Group’s product range in a sensible way and provides Hennecke with access to innovation power and a global presence,” said Dr. Axel Von Wiedersperg, CEO of The Brückner Group.
As a global market leader with expertise in the field of reactive plastics, Hennecke brings additional material-based, high-tech solutions to the Group. This technology is suitable for use in many industries like construction, furniture, and refrigeration and creates new diversification potential.
Hennecke has an international network of sites in Germany, Italy, the US, and China, an industry-leading product portfolio of global, innovative systems and technologies with extraordinary economic and environmental benefits. This will ultimately allow the Brückner Group to tap into new product segments and reinforce its global base of expertise.
“The merger will not only result in bundled technological expertise and a global market presence, but also allow us to form the basis for expanding our position in the international PUR market. Working with the Brückner Group, we’ll be able to capitalize on innovation and growth potential much faster in the future,” added Thomas Wildt, CEO of The Hennecke GROUP.
