Own presence in Switzerland
Lapp takes over sales partner Volland
Lapp, specialist for integrated solutions in cable and connection technology, has taken over its long-standing Swiss sales partner Volland.
On July 3, 2018, company founder Rudolf Volland and Managing Director Reto Volland, together with Andreas Lapp, CEO of the Lapp Group, and Matthias Lapp, CEO of Lapp for the Europe, Latin America, Africa and Middle East region, signed the purchase agreement in Rümlang.
Volland, based in Rümlang, has been a Lapp sales partner since the company was founded in 1960, making it the first abroad. The Swiss company is a system provider of cable technology and currently employs 35 people. Reto Volland, Managing Director of Volland for 32 years, will continue to manage the business of the new Lapp company.
Andreas Lapp is delighted: "We at Lapp can thus further strengthen our presence in the particularly innovative and demanding Swiss market and offer customers in Switzerland and around the world an even better and more seamless service."
Company founder and Chairman of the Board of Directors Rudolf Volland: "Our aim is to lead Volland AG into a secure and innovative future after almost six decades. We are also arranging the succession at an early stage and ensuring continuity and new prospects for the future." Reto Volland sees great opportunities in the sale of his company to Lapp. He emphasizes: "With the power of the global player Lapp behind us, we can offer our customers in Switzerland an even faster and better service." Among other things, Volland's direct integration into the Lapp network will enable customers to benefit from a larger product selection, higher stock availability, faster deliveries and Lapp's innovative strength.
The takeover is subject to the approval of the relevant authorities. as
