SIKORA AG, a leading manufacturer of innovative measuring, control and sorting technologies for a wide range of industries, is setting the course for the future. SIKORA gains a strong strategic partner for the future and becomes a member of the Swiss MAAG Group. The MAAG Group is a leading international group of companies for integrated solutions in polymer processing and part of the Dover Corporation.
Harald Sikora, Managing Director of SIKORA HOLDING GmbH & Co. KG, founded the company SIKORA in 1973. Since then, SIKORA has continuously developed, opened up new markets and has grown steadily. With around 450 employees in Bremen and its 13 international subsidiaries, the company offers innovative solutions and customized customer service.
The cooperation between the MAAG Group and SIKORA AG opens up a wide range of technological and geographical synergies. SIKORA’s expertise in measuring and control technology ideally complements the MAAG Group’s portfolio in the areas of pump, filtration and pelletizing systems. The regional proximity also offers advantages: Both companies are represented with strong locations in the DACH region and are broadly positioned internationally. This results in valuable, shared strengths and the opportunity to provide customers with even more comprehensive support and offer new solutions.
Personnel continuity in the management of SIKORA AG
In the new constellation, company founder Harald Sikora will remain associated with SIKORA AG in an advisory capacity. The partners also rely on continuity with regard to the operational management at SIKORA. The long-standing Management Board of SIKORA AG will continue to be responsible for the company’s growth story in the future. CEO Dr. Christian Frank has been a member of SIKORA’s Management Board for 12 years and has been Chairman of the Management Board since 2015. Dr. Frank, who holds a doctorate in industrial engineering, has proven management expertise in the aerospace and mechanical engineering industries. Holger Lieder has been working in sales at SIKORA for 21 years and took over the position of Director Sales with responsibility for global sales in 2010. In 2023, he was appointed to the Management Board of SIKORA AG.
The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2025.
