Hit like lightning: Blitzableiterbau Wimmer part of FABRI

08.12.2022

With Blitzableiterbau Wimmer GmbH from Euskirchen in North Rhine-Westphalia, the FABRI Group has expanded to include a successful company specializing in lightning protection systems.

“From the outset, contact and cooperation was characterized by openness and honesty,” says Thomas Waag, Chief Financial Officer of FABRI. “We are delighted to be able to attract such an established company with competent and motivated management to FABRI. We warmly welcome Blitzableiterbau Wimmer and its employees to the FABRI Group. ”

Founded in 1980, Blitzableiterbau Wimmer GmbH plans and installs second-generation lightning protection and earthing systems primarily for commercial customers. In the Cologne area, the company has an excellent reputation and is one of the larger companies in this niche sector. The team, consisting of 25 dedicated and experienced employees, implements around 800 projects and a variety of long-term maintenance contracts every year.

“I can't imagine a better partner for my company,” says managing director and former partner Jürgen Wimmer. “I was looking for just such a successor solution for my company and employees: independent and independent work and the security of a group structure. I am already looking forward to the lively exchange of experiences with each other. ”

In addition to Jürgen Wimmer, a second managing director for plant management was found a few years ago in Dirk Pichler, a long-standing and experienced employee. As a result, the course for operational succession and thus the future of Blitzableiterbau Wimmer GmbH was set at an early stage.
