RS Invest GmbH, based in Weselberg, has acquired the business operations of Dr Wiesner Steuerungstechnik GmbH, headquartered in Remshalden, through an asset transfer restructuring (asset deal) effective from January 1, 2025. The purchase agreement was signed in early December 2024, and the workforce was informed during an employee meeting. Insolvency administrator Sebastian Krapohl successfully secured the continuation of the company and preserved all jobs through the sale.
Dr Wiesner Steuerungstechnik GmbH specializes in industrial testing of fluidic parameters, particularly leak tightness and flow rate. The company is a market leader in its segment, offering solutions for fully automated, semi-automated, and manual testing processes. In August 2024, the company filed for insolvency due to a lack of incoming project orders and a general decline in revenues in its serial business.
The new shareholder, RS Invest, is a group of experienced restructuring investors based in Weselberg. Under its new leadership, Dr Wiesner Steuerungstechnik GmbH will undergo a comprehensive restructuring to solidify its position as a leading provider of industrial leak tightness and flow testing solutions. The new owners are relying on the extensive expertise and longstanding experience of the workforce to achieve this.
"In today’s economic climate, it is a significant achievement to have two unilaterally signed purchase agreements on the table at the end of the investor process," emphasized insolvency administrator Sebastian Krapohl. "This success is also a testament to the strong reputation of Dr Wiesner Steuerungstechnik GmbH. This outcome is a major achievement for the company, its employees, and its many customers. We are proud to have found such a favorable solution through competition in the M&A process."
Peter Kuss, Managing Director of RS Invest GmbH, expressed optimism: "We are delighted to continue the success story of Dr Wiesner Steuerungstechnik GmbH and lead the company into an innovative and sustainable future together with its employees."
Throughout the insolvency proceedings, Sebastian Krapohl was advised on operational business continuity and the M&A process by a team from allea consult GmbH. A partner at GÖRG in Stuttgart, Krapohl has been regularly appointed as an insolvency administrator by various courts in Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria since 2015.
