A new chapter begins, reinforcing Merlo's commitment to the German market and ensuring strong continuity after 33 years of shared success with the local partner.
Merlo SpA has acquired the shares of Merlo Deutschland GmbH, which were previously owned by the Clewing family through Heinrichs Holding GmbH. This marks a natural evolution in the long-standing and solid collaboration between the two families.
Following a 33-year period of shared success, the Cuneo-based company is entering a new phase that serves to strengthen Merlo's commitment to the German market: "This decision is part of a story built on trust, shared values, and a common vision, ensuring full operational continuity," said Paolo Merlo, CEO of the Merlo Group. 'Henrich Clewing and I believe that this new structure will enable the company to fulfil its potential, enhancing its brand presence and ensuring long-term growth and success.'
In a spirit of continuity and renewal, the Clewing family has chosen to transfer full ownership of the subsidiary to Merlo SpA, while retaining 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 skilled and motivated employees. In this context, the full acquisition of the German subsidiary by Merlo SpA represents a natural and strategic development, aimed at further strengthening the Merlo Group's presence in Germany and consolidating relationships with local customers and partners.
Thanks to this new structure, Merlo will be able to follow the German market even more closely and directly. This will allow them to offer customers increasingly personalized, prompt, and effective support. This is a step that builds on the work carried out so far and aims to further elevate the quality, reliability and service standards that have defined Merlo’s activity in Germany for over three decades.
