Mapal continues realignment in Germany

The Mapal Group is consistently driving forward the strategic realignment of its organisation in Germany. Following the change of legal structure of the company headquarters to Mapal Dr Kress SE & Co. KG in June 2025 and the realignment of the corporate group as a process-driven organisation, the company is now taking the next significant step — on 1 May, the German companies of the Mapal Group will be legally merged into Mapal Dr Kress SE & Co. KG.

With this measure, Mapal is bundling its structures in Germany and creating the basis for standardised processes, clear responsibilities and more efficient workflows. The process-driven organisational structure introduced in 2025 forms the foundation for the subsequent legal consolidation. The aim is to further streamline cooperation with customers and partners while at the same time strengthening the organisation's performance in the long-term.

Dr Jochen Kress, president of Mapal Dr Kress SE & Co. KG, said: “The merger is a logical next step in the transformation of our family business. We have consistently aligned our internal processes with the requirements of our customers. The legal merger now creates the necessary clarity and efficiency to provide optimum structural support for this alignment: We reduce organisational complexity and at the same time increase our speed of response with the aim of meeting our customers' requirements even better."

Continuity in production
As part of the realignment, the German companies Mapal WWS, MapalITS, Miller, August Beck, Weisskopf Werkzeuge and WTE Präzisionstechnik are merging with the corporate headquarters Mapal Dr Kress SE & Co. KG. All locations will remain as production plants with their respective product portfolios, thus ensuring continuity in production, expertise and customer proximity.

Customers, suppliers and partners will benefit from the restructuring: a central contractual partner, harmonised processes and simplified communication - without compromising on the personal support or technical expertise that MAPAL has stood for for decades. Existing contracts and agreements will remain unchanged and will be transferred to Mapal Dr Kress SE & Co. KG as part of the universal succession.

Dr Kress concluded: “All of our organisational development measures follow a clear guideline. We invest in structures, processes and employees in a targeted manner in order to make Mapal competitive in the long term - as an independent family business with an international focus.”
