Fuchs took over the concrete specialist Drössler

The owner-managed Fuchs corporate family took over the Drössler Group based in Siegen with effect from April 01, 2024 and will continue the business in future as Fuchs Fertigteilwerke Siegen GmbH. Thus, throughout Germany the city in North Rhine-Westphalia represents the seventh production site of the group of companies manufacturing precast concrete systems. CEO Conrad Fuchs explains the acquisition of the nearly 100 years old traditional company with a strategic expansion of the product portfolio at Fuchs and the potential of synergy effects in sales and the production technologies.

Key expertise of Drössler are the large-volume prestressed concrete tanks for various fields of application in the sectors of environmental technology and renewable energy. The carefully prefabricated elements get an extraordinarily high pressure stability by additional prestressing during assembly. This allows the realization of circular tanks with individual compartments with capacities of up to 25,000 m³. The future production of Fuchs will manufacture circular tanks, andoc tanks, oval tanks and rectangular structures for various kinds of application.

The strategic new orientation and integration into the group of companies is managed by Conrad Fuchs and Michael Novotny; Michael Stahl and Frank Bleuel from the Drössler management are also part of the new management. Christian Drössler joins Fuchs in an advisory role, strengthening the segment of precast concrete plants within the corporate family.

In a media information the Group announced that changes in the current business operations are not to be expected owing to the Asset Deal and new company name associated therewith. The Drössler workforce of about 100 people is taken over without exception. This increases the number of people at Fuchs to more than 1,700. Customers and suppliers will get more detailed information within the next few days.
