The transaction, announced on 17 February 2026 by Epta, is scheduled to take effect on 1 March 2026 and creates a combined group with more than €2 billion in pro-forma annual consolidated revenues [approx. $2.2 billion] and around 10,000 employees.

Surpassing the €2 billion revenue threshold is a significant achievement that reflects the strength of our industrial model and further reinforces our leadership in Europe.“ Thomas Loibl, CEO von Hauser, added: “Joining Epta marks a pivotal moment for our company.”
