“As one of the key market players for heating, cooling, and solar vessels and storage tanks in Italy, Elbi perfectly complements the Reflex portfolio. Elbi's strong local brand presence and excellent market access in the retail business are of particular strategic importance for our further advancement,” says our CEO, Dr. Sandra Bell.

With this statement in mind, we are pleased to officially announce the acquisition of Elbi S.p.A., Italy.

With the aim of establishing ourselves even more strongly in the European heating and cooling market and continuing to expand globally, we made a conscious decision to acquire Elbi SpA. as this step will enable us to accelerate our growth trajectory and the associated increase in market presence.

Elbi SpA., also a family-owned company with a long tradition, shares the same corporate values as the Winkelmann Group and thus fits perfectly into the corporate structure and brand portfolio.

Elbi SpA. will continue to operate in its current form as an independent business unit in order to continue offering all current employees an attractive place to work. The senior members of the Elbi family will also remain in the management team over the next few years, ensuring the consistent and continuous development of the business.

This is because not only tradition, but also continuity, reliability, and customer focus are our shared values, making this an absolute win-win situation for both of us.
