Harald Sikora, Managing Director of SIKORA HOLDING GmbH & Co. KG, founded the company SIKORA in 1973. Since then, 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.
“With the MAAG Group, we have found our ideal partner for the future,” summarizes Harald Sikora and is confident that the company is in capable hands: “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.”
Commenting on the acquisition, Ueli Thuerig, President MAAG Group, said, “SIKORA’s outstanding products address similar customer needs in resin-related markets to ours, and its offerings provide MAAG with increased exposure to highly-attractive market adjacencies where we have existing industry knowledge and customer relationships. 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.”
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: Both companies are represented with strong locations in the DACH region 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.
