\n\n\n\n
><\/td>\nEffective October 31, 2025, LIFCO AB (\u00bbLifco\u00ab) announced the acquisition of a majority stake in HEGUtechnik GmbH (\u00bbHEGUtechnik\u00ab) from Matthias W\u00fcst, Managing Director and owner of HEGUtechnik.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Strategic Logic<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n\n\n\n
><\/td>\nTo further develop HEGUtechnik over the long term and ensure a lasting entrepreneurial succession, Mr. W\u00fcst has found a strategic and responsible partner in Lifco. HEGUtechnik will remain an independent company within the Lifco Group.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
><\/td>\nLifco will support HEGUtechnik in further expanding its strong market profile in the production of highly complex, small-volume electronic components, strengthening the organization, and selectively expanding its international footprint \u2014 always with a focus on the proven premium niche positioning and the continuation of successful partnerships with existing customers.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
><\/td>\nAt the same time, HEGUtechnik will benefit from access to Lifco\u2019s broad network and many years of experience in industrial manufacturing from comparable companies.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>
