The Brückner Group, in a bid to pursue its growth strategy, 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). These technologies are the perfect complement to the existing range of services and products and will provide access to new markets.
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.
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 Axel Von Wiedersperg, CEO of the Bruckner Group.
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, and an excellent reputation in the plastics industry – especially outside of the packaging sector. 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. This step represents a natural progression of our Hennecke Business System and the FOCUS2030 strategy for sustainable growth. Working with the Brückner Group, we’ll be able to capitalize on innovation and growth potential much faster in the future,” said Thomas Wildt, CEO of the Hennecke Group.
