Roller alliance for Wacker Neuson and Wirtgen
Global partnership to start on February 1, 2015
(Munich/Windhagen, January 2015) Wacker Neuson SE and the Wirtgen Group
have agreed to enter a strategic alliance for soil and asphalt compaction
rollers. Starting in February 2015, Wacker Neuson will source rollers from
the Hamm factory in Tirschenreuth, Germany, and distribute them via its own
sales network, focusing initially on markets in Germany, Austria and
Switzerland.
Hamm AG is a member of the Wirtgen Group and has been producing rollers for
over 100 hundred years. The company's portfolio includes compactors, tandem
rollers and static rollers. From 2015 on, the factory in Tirschenreuth will
be producing models to the technical and design specifications of Wacker
Neuson. "This long-term collaboration brings together two strong players in
the compaction sector that complement each other perfectly," explains Cem
Peksaglam, CEO of Wacker Neuson SE. "The alliance with Hamm will enable us
to close gaps in the Wacker Neuson product portfolio and round off our
offering in the soil and asphalt compaction segment with tandem rollers
weighing from 1.8 to 4.5 tons, plus compactors weighing up to 7 tons."
The rollers produced by Hamm will be distributed via the Wacker Neuson
sales network under the Wacker Neuson brand. The Group will initially focus
on markets in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, expanding to global
distribution further down the line. "We have excellent market penetration
and a particularly dense sales and service network in German-speaking
countries. The additional roller models from Tirschenreuth will enable us
to offer customers an even broader and deeper portfolio of compaction
machines backed by our proven, customer-centric service," explains
Peksaglam. Wacker Neuson will be unveiling the first new roller models to
visitors at the construction equipment trade show Baumag in Lucerne
(Switzerland), from January 22 to 25, 2015.
"The collaboration with Wacker Neuson will enable us to increase production
output and leverage economies of scale," explains Jürgen Wirtgen, Manager
of the Wirtgen Group. "This is a very attractive partnership for several
reasons. In terms of sales structures, Wacker Neuson's dense sales network
with its own sales and service stations is a particular plus. In addition,
the move will extend our joint customer reach."
"Strategic alliances and collaborations like the one we are entering into
with the Wirtgen Group are becoming increasingly important in an
increasingly global and competitive market. They make both parties more
competitive," adds Cem Peksaglam.
