Everson, Washington (PRWEB) May 19, 2017 -- Wöhler Technik GmbH is pleased to announce the acquisition of Retrotec Inc, effective May 1, 2017. Managing Directors Ben Walker and Darren Kennedy will continue to run the operations. A new company titled, “Wohler Retrotec, Inc.” will be formed.
The German enterprise Wöhler was founded in 1932 and since then has earned an international reputation as a manufacturer of high quality measurement instruments for the Building and HVAC industries. The product lines of both companies include Blower Door Systems and leakage testers, which will perfectly complement each other. “Especially the professional customers of Wöhler and Retrotec will benefit from the collaboration of these two experts who join their know-how and experience” comments Johannes Lötfering, managing director of Wöhler Technik GmbH.
