Schaltbau subsidiary Gebr. Bode acquires Werner Kircher
Munich / Kassel, 25 July 2012 - As part of an asset deal, from 1 September

subsidiary of Schaltbau Holding AG, will take over boarding systems
manufacturing specialist Werner Kircher, Elektro- und Feinmechanischer
Gerätebau, a company based in Ahnatal, also in the district of Kassel. A
purchase agreement has been signed and the takeover is now only subject to
the fulfilment of legal contractual obligations. The company will be
transferred to the newly formed Bode subsidiary Bode Zustiegssysteme GmbH.

reputation as a manufacturer of boarding systems and their components. In

boarding systems. In the medium term Bode plans to expand this particular
field of business.

range of products and services comprises the development, production,
