Freudenberg & Co., Weinheim, has acquired large sections of Burgmann Dichtungswerke in Wolfratshausen, particularly those relating to the mechanical seals, expansion joints and automotive business, and is thus expanding its seals activities. “With the acquisition, we are implementing our strategy to grow outside of the automotive sector in a technologically demanding market,“ said Dr. Peter Stehle, Member of the Management Board of Freudenberg & Co. Burgmann, which was established 120 years ago, is headquartered in Wolfratshausen, Bavaria. Last year, the company had a global workforce of some 3300 associates, 1100 of whom were employed at the German sites in Wolfrats-hausen and Eurasburg and the company’s service centers. With sales of some 292 million Euro (2002), Burgmann is one of the world’s leading mechanical seals producers. The company is now called Burgmann Industries GmbH & Co. KG.
