Diehl Defense will take over Allweier, a manufacturer of precision parts based in Überlingen, on January 1, 2024. The existing business of Allweier will be continued by Diehl Defence as an independent business unit under the name “DD Präzisionsteile GmbH & Co KG”.
The Allweier Group underwent insolvency proceedings, during which Diehl Defence was selected as the buyer from several applicants, according to a recent press release from the company. This means that the jobs of around 160 Allweier employees in Überlingen are now secure. With the takeover, Diehl Defence is expanding its production capacity and opening up a new source of supply for its existing product range. Allweier currently manufactures high-precision metal parts for several industrial sectors, which can also be used in a variety of Diehl Defence products, such as guided missiles. https://militaeraktuell.at/dann-sind-wir-in-europa-ganz-vorne-dabei/ Helmut Rauch, CEO Diehl Defence, said: “The acquisition of the Allweier Group fits perfectly into our growth strategy, secures jobs at the Überlingen site and opens up new perspectives for the employees of the Allweier Group. In the transaction process, a future-oriented solution was found for all parties involved in constructive cooperation with the insolvency administrator Schleich & Partner.” Diehl Defence is currently in a phase of strong growth. A sustained increase in production, sales and workforce is forecast for the coming years, which will further strengthen its market position as a leading German system house in the field of air defense. By taking over Allweier, Diehl Defence can strengthen its existing workforce and supply chain with qualified employees in the new company. The takeover is part of ongoing measures to secure the location: a new warehouse and logistics building was already built at Diehl Defence’s headquarters in Überlingen in 2021/2022, and in October 2023 the company acquired a plot of land to construct a new administration building there in the coming years.
