Eisenmann becomes part of the Daifuku Group
German based paint shop developer Eisenmann GmbH has announced that Daifuku (Japan) will acquire 100% of the shares in Eisenmann GmbH from its current shareholder, Nimbus Hands-on Investors (Netherlands).
Based on its long-term vision “Driving Innovative Impact 2030”, the Daifuku Group is working to expand its business activities outside Japan and strengthen its competitiveness. The acquisition of Eisenmann is intended to strengthen the Group’s core business in manufacturing systems for the automotive industry.
According to the current status, the transaction is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2026.
Through the acquisition of shares in Eisenmann, Daifuku gains the opportunity to offer more comprehensive coverage in automotive and industrial manufacturing, particularly in the field of coating technology – from quotation and planning through commissioning to after-sales support. This is tailored to European standards and customer-specific requirements, which are becoming increasingly important. Daifuku and Eisenmann have decided to join forces and integrate Eisenmann into the Daifuku Group in order to strengthen and expand their competencies in system solutions worldwide.
Innovative automation technologies
Eisenmann offers innovative automation technologies as well as sustainable and economical solutions in the field of coating and final assembly, which are primarily used by European manufacturers of automotive and industrial components.
Daifuku, on the other hand, has a strong global presence, a broad product and solutions portfolio, sound expertise in project execution, and a high-performance research and development team. The business areas of Eisenmann and Daifuku complement each other perfectly, particularly in the field of industrial coating and surface treatment systems.
Greater customer benefit
Through this acquisition, both Daifuku and Eisenmann expect greater customer benefit as well as increased order opportunities, as quotation competence is enhanced and expanded possibilities for integrated systems in automotive production are created.
The current management of Eisenmann, the corporate culture, existing business relationships, and the customer-oriented approach will remain unchanged.
According to the current status, the transaction is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2026.
