Wöhrle GmbH & Co. KG Takes over OSKAR Rüegg AG

Wöhrle GmbH Co. KG takes over OSKAR RÜEGG AG and forms a global specialist for sophisticated stamped parts and assemblies. The takeover was completed on November 30, 2023. Starkpartners Consulting GmbH successfully supported the process on behalf of the shareholders of Oskar Rüegg AG.

The WÖHRLE Group, active since 1921, has successfully carried out the transformation process towards electromobility at its locations in Germany and Slovakia in recent years. Oskar Rüegg Holding AG, a traditional Swiss family company since 1891, has in turn developed new markets in Bulgaria and Mexico.

The Wöhrle Group, based in Wildberg, completely took over Oskar Rüegg Holding AG, based in Jona (Switzerland), and its subsidiaries (Switzerland / Bulgaria / Mexico) on December 1, 2023. Wöhrle, founded in 1921, has successfully steered the transformation process towards e-mobility at its locations in Germany and Slovakia in recent years. Oskar Rüegg, based in Switzerland since 1891, developed new markets at the Bulgaria and Mexico locations.

Both companies are specialized in sophisticated stamped parts and assembly production and are established companies in the industry. The companies also have their own tool design and toolmaking facilities, making them ideally positioned for customer development projects.

Together, the expanded group of companies with six plants on two continents in Germany, Switzerland, Slovakia, Bulgaria and Mexico offers sophisticated stamped parts and assemblies from 50 – 2,000 tons of pressing force. Both companies generate more than 100 million euros in the markets for the automotive industry, mechanical and plant engineering and other industries and complement each other perfectly. In the new constellation, the group of companies is very well positioned to meet the requirements of the future and to serve its customers as a global partner with an exceptional product and service portfolio.

starkpartners consulting GmbH successfully supported the shareholders of the Oskar Rüegg Group as part of a complex MA project. A structured investor process made it possible to develop a successful solution for the employees, customers and suppliers and, ultimately, also for the shareholders. We wish the entire team at Wöhrle and Oskar Rüegg a successful future.
