WEPA has successfully closed the acquisition of a majority stake in MPH1865, strengthening its position in the French Away-from-Home market and expanding its WEPA Professional business. The company will operate under the name WEPA Professional France. 

 

Together, WEPA and MPH1865 bring complementary strengths, local expertise and a shared commitment to sustainable hygiene solutions. Around 260 employees are joining the WEPA Group, and all five production sites in France will be retained and further developed. 

 

MPH1865 will continue to be led by MIRIBEL Marc, who remains President of the company. 

 

“With MPH1865, we are strengthening our international presence in the European Away-from-Home market and systematically expanding our position with the Satino brand. Our aim is to provide even better service to our customers across Europe with high-performance, sustainable hygiene solutions.” said Andreas Krengel, Chief Commercial Officer of the WEPA Group.

 

Martin Krengel, CEO of the WEPA Group: “We are delighted that this acquisition will further strengthen WEPA’s position in Europe, and in France in particular. Through the synergies generated by this merger and the consistent implementation of our sustainability strategy, we will create additional value for our stakeholders, particularly our customers.”

 

MIRIBEL Marc stated: “In WEPA, we have found a partner that, like MPH1865, is family-run and attaches great importance to operational excellence, employee commitment, customer focus, and sustainability. As part of the WEPA Group, we believe we are excellently positioned for the future and look forward to contributing to WEPA's continued growth.”
