MERLO S.p.A. has acquired the shares in Merlo Deutschland GmbH, which were previously owned by the Clewing family, the owners of Heinrichs Holding GmbH.
The move is said to mark a ‘natural evolution’ in the collaboration between the two families. After 33 years of shared success, a new phase is beginning for the Cuneo-based company.
“This decision is part of a history built on trust, common values and a shared vision, ensuring full operational continuity,” said Paolo Merlo, CEO of the Merlo Group. “Like Henrich Clewing, I believe that this new structure will maximise the company’s potential by strengthening the brand’s presence and ensuring long-term growth and success.”
The Clewing family has chosen to entrust Merlo SpA with full ownership of the subsidiary, while maintaining an operational role within the organisation. Henrich Clewing will continue to lead Merlo Deutschland GmbH as MD, supported by a team of 50 employees.
Merlo said the deal is designed to further strengthen the group’s presence in Germany and consolidate its relationships with local customers and partners.
