The Bachmann Group is expanding its company and taking over HerkuPlast Kubern GmbH on 1 January 2025. The two owner-managed companies bring decades of experience in the field of growing, cultivation and transport pallets.
The acquisition is driven by the wish of the HerkuPlast owners to ensure a stable future for the company. "The HerkuPlast factory continues operating as it currently does, and office staff remain the same", the team shares
Reto Bachmann, CEO of the Bachmann Group and Dr Jürgen Kubern, owner of HerkuPlast Kubern GmbH.
The Bachmann Group, based in Hochdorf (Switzerland) and employing 280 people, has been operating for almost 60 years. It consists of Bachmann Forming AG, which manufactures customized packaging for food, non-food and healthcare, and Bachmann Plantec AG, which specializes in transport packaging and growing systems for horticulture.
HerkuPlast Kubern GmbH in Ering (Germany) was founded in 1972 and employs around 35 people. They produce high-quality plastic products for the cultivation sector. Its two renowned brands HerkuPak and Quickpot are well known in the market.
"This takeover creates valuable synergies, and the product portfolios complement each other perfectly. At the same time, both companies are focusing on sustainable solutions: The products are made entirely from PCR materials and the company's own photovoltaic systems generate a significant proportion of the electricity required", the companies explain.
Reto Bachmann, CEO of the Bachmann Group, explains: 'HerkuPlast is the ideal partner for us to further expand our market position in the cultivation sector. We are delighted to welcome the employees and expertise of HerkuPlast to our Bachmann family.'
"Through this merger, both companies are joining forces and sustainably strengthening their international market position. The Bachmann Group and HerkuPlast Kubern GmbH are looking forward with excitement and confidence to a successful future together."
