BERLIN - On Feb. 8, the Wilo Group successfully completed the acquisition of the Berlin-based Abionik Group from the private equity company BID Equity as well as other shareholders. Abionik currently employs around 170 people across eleven production and sales sites in Europe and Asia. Among other companies, the Abionik Group includes MARTIN Systems, LIKUSTA Umwelttechnik, and Steinhardt, which specialise in wastewater and exhaust air treatment as well as rainwater treatment and flood control.
“With the acquisition of the Abionik Group, we are diversifying our portfolio in the water management segment in a targeted manner and are consistently pursuing our strategic alignment as a solution provider with regard to the treatment of water and sewage. With its strong focus on energy-efficient and sustainable products, the Abionik Group fully shares our values as the winner of the German Sustainability Award 2021”, said Oliver Hermes, president and CEO of the Wilo Group. “The world climate needs pioneers. At Wilo, we claim to not only promote the topic of energy efficiency, but also to be a climate protection and digital pioneer. We’re convinced that the smartest products are also the ones that are the most energy efficient. It only makes sense then that digital transformation, energy efficiency and climate protection are firmly correlated”, adds the President and CEO.
