This marks the beginning of a new phase that consolidates Merlo's commitment to the German market, building on 33 years of success with its local partner.
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. This marks a natural evolution in the long and strong collaboration between the two families.
After 33 years of shared success, a new phase is beginning for the Cuneo-based company, consolidating Merlo's commitment to the German market: “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.”
With a view to continuity and renewal, 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 Managing Director, supported by a team of 50 highly qualified and motivated employees.
In this context, Merlo SpA's full acquisition of the German subsidiary represents a natural and strategic evolution. It is designed to further strengthen the Merlo Group's presence in Germany and consolidate its relationships with local customers and partners.
Thanks to this new configuration, Merlo will be able to follow the German market even more directly and closely, guaranteeing customers increasingly personalised, timely and effective support. This step recognises the work carried out so far and aims to further raise the standards of quality, reliability and service that have characterised Merlo's business in Germany for over thirty years.
