Transformation in full swing: technotrans to merge selected group companies by early 2022

Friday 09. July 2021 - As part of the group strategy Future Ready 2025, technotrans SE is taking the next step in the transformation process initiated at the end of 2020: the companies gwk Gesellschaft Wärme Kältetechnik mbH and Reisner Cooling Solutions GmbH are merging to form technotrans solutions GmbH.

KLH Kältetechnik GmbH will be merged with technotrans SE – the company name will remain technotrans SE. The subsidiary termotek GmbH will in future trade under the new name technotrans systems GmbH. The aim of these measures, which are already under way, is to create a uniform group-wide image through the creation of the technotrans umbrella brand. By pooling skills and leveraging the resulting synergy effects, technotrans is further enhancing the market clout of the group. The group plans to complete the mergers by the beginning of 2022.
“We set out at the end of 2020 to shape the thermal management of the future together. Under the motto ‘power to transform’, we are now demonstrating our transformation power in practice. We are bundling the core competences of our group companies into a strong and sustainable brand in order to become even more present and visible both nationally and internationally,” says Michael Finger, Spokesman of the Board of Management of technotrans SE. The locations of the companies will be retained.
The new technotrans solutions GmbH offers its customers greatly expanded solutions expertise by pooling the engineering know-how of gwk and Reisner, as well as highly specialised production facilities at two locations. The new company thus offers a product portfolio of highly efficient cooling and temperature control systems of exemplary bandwidth in the temperature range from -80 to +400 degrees Celsius. technotrans systems GmbH, which emerged from termotek, will be particularly active in the Healthcare & Analytics (medical technology) and Laser & Machine Tools (lasers and machine tools) markets. The existing equipment and technology portfolio will be retained as a result of the mergers and will be further expanded in future. Closer cooperation with technotrans will enable the new companies to offer their customers an even wider range of services.
Biggest step in the company’s history
“In the next six months we will have completed the mergers and thus taken the biggest organisational step in the history of technotrans,” emphasises Michael Finger. With a stable organisation and a clear product and technology portfolio, technotrans is increasing its competitiveness. This change process requires comprehensive measures that must also be supported by the commitment of the employees. “The involvement of the employees is the key factor for a successful process,” says Michael Finger. The aim of the measures is to create a new “we” feeling and to make the company more modern, more agile and more effective. In this way technotrans will further strengthen its position as a technology leader in thermal management.
Embedded in the overall strategy, the merger of selected companies is part of the first phase of the transformation process. Its focus is on stability and profitability. In the second phase from 2023 to 2025, the group will focus on profitable growth through targeted investments.
