German Wilhelm Schröder GmbH goes under the roof of a strategic partner in order to go global and to be able to grow sustainably.
With effect from 19 December 2017, OKE Group GmbH has taken over Wilhelm Schröder GmbH, headquartered in Herscheid, thus continuing its growth.
Wilhelm Schröder specializes in component solutions and system assemblies for the automotive and the household appliances industry. But even small parts such as door lock components, hybrid solutions for vacuum cleaners to housing parts for bluetooth control units are part of the product portfolio. With the acquisition of Schröder, 140 new employees join the OKE Group.
As an expert in the field of hybrid technology, Wilhelm Schröder produces metal-plastic hybrids and combines different technologies, materials and processes. This creates new, advantageous product properties. The goal is always a rational and cost-effective production through an optimal material selection and a material reduction and weight savings to the elimination of individual components.
Centum Capital initiated this transaction in 2017 and advised the seller until successful completion.
