Consistent Development and Targeted Expansion of Value Creation: Through this acquisition, Mühldorfer Group strengthens its manufacturing expertise and responds to the growing demand for flexible production of wet pet food and other pet nutrition products for dogs and cats—particularly in the organic segment. With its sixth acquisition since the investment of financial partner KKA Partners, Mühldorfer Group successfully completes the first year of its “Buy, Build & Technologize” strategy.
Mühldorfer Nutrition Holding GmbH (“Mühldorfer Group”), one of the leading manufacturers of premium animal nutrition and care products, welcomes Herrmann GmbH (“Herrmann”) as the latest addition to the Group. The acquisition represents another important milestone in the consistent execution of Mühldorfer Group’s “Buy, Build & Technologize” strategy, which is being driven forward in close partnership with financial investor KKA Partners.
With this transaction, Mühldorfer Group further expands and strengthens its position as a full-service supplier and manufacturer in the pet nutrition industry, supported by extensive expertise and strong production capabilities—particularly in the wet pet food segment.
“With Herrmann, a true ‘industry gem,’ we have found another important piece of our ‘Buy, Build & Technologize’ strategy, and we are delighted to integrate this manufacturing business into our Group. In particular, the ability to offer flexible production solutions for our customers—both in the organic and conventional sectors—makes this acquisition a logical next step for Mühldorfer Group.” Klaus Mittermeier, Founder and CEO, Mühldorfer Group
Erich Herrmann, Founder and Managing Director of Herrmann GmbH, deliberately chose Mühldorfer Group as the company’s future partner and will remain invested in the business. He emphasized that not only the facilities in Glonn and Aßling, but also all employees, will become part of the Mühldorfer Group.
“The future vision of Mühldorfer Group, combined with the hands-on mentality of its management and team, is an excellent fit with the philosophy on which I built this company. Together, we will prepare Herrmann GmbH for future challenges and continue its successful development.” Erich Herrmann, Founder and Managing Director, Herrmann GmbH
For Mühldorfer Group and its ambitious expansion plans, this strategic transaction marks the sixth acquisition within the past twelve months. The acquisition further strengthens the Group’s position as an integrated manufacturer and supplier, particularly in the private-label segment.
“With its state-of-the-art organic wet pet food production facility, Herrmann perfectly complements Mühldorfer Group’s commitment to delivering products of the highest quality and standards to our private-label customers.
