BLOK advises on the sale of M. Widder GmbH Wärmetechnik to VDK Groep B.V.

M. Widder GmbH Wärmetechnik is an established provider of heating, cooling and sanitary technology in the Rhine-Main region. The company’s predecessor, Lietz, was founded in 1978 by owner Manfred Widder. The present-day M. Widder GmbH was established in 1993, the same year in which Karsten Widder joined the company. M. Widder has a strong regional presence and a long-standing network of construction companies, general contractors and project developers. The company focuses primarily on commercial clients in building construction as well as on the industrial and commercial sectors.

VDK Groep is a rapidly growing European group of locally rooted, independently operating installation and maintenance companies. With more than 175 companies, over 8,300 skilled employees and annual revenues of approximately €2 billion, the group provides multidisciplinary, end-to-end technical solutions in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Sweden, Austria and Switzerland and continues to expand its presence.

Through the acquisition, VDK Groep gains a strongly established partner in the Rhine-Main region and further expands its platform, particularly through M. Widder’s comprehensive expertise in commercial building construction. M. Widder complements VDK Groep’s existing network with an established market participant renowned for its strong regional reputation and long-standing customer and business relationships.

For the shareholders of M. Widder GmbH Wärmetechnik, the transaction provides a structured and future-oriented succession solution. At the same time, the company gains a strong partner in VDK Groep to support its continued development and future growth. The company’s regional presence, all of its locations, its established brand and M. Widder’s operational expertise will remain important elements of the shared vision for the future.
