Zuse Holding GmbH (
www.zuseautomation.com) is buying the Hüller Hille assets of FFG Werke GmbH, including the Diedesheim plant, plus the Hüller Hille brand and products.
The machine-building expert will now operate under the name of Zuse Hüller-Hille Werkzeugmaschinen Gmbh.
Zuse will relocate to Mosbach, where the company will establish its first development and manufacturing centre in Europe. The 185 employees and 15 apprentices at the Diedesheim plant will be retained, and Zuse will offer permanent contracts of employment to all trainees graduating this year.
Since 2013, Hüller Hille has belonged to the Taiwanese Fair Friend Group. Zuse and FFG have agreed on extensive sales and service co-operation.
Luigi Maniglio, COO at FFG Europe & Americas, said: “We were looking for the best owner for Hüller Hille in the context of re-aligning our portfolio and footprint. Zuse has the right approach and structure to develop the brand.”
