MIPA takes over the business of the Aschaffenburg Paint and Varnish Factory

  • Mipa News

On 1 January 2027, MIPA SE will acquire the Aschaffenburg-based paint and varnish manufacturer Dr. W. Kohlhaus GmbH. The Aschaffenburg-based company develops, manufactures and markets products under the ALFA Lacke brand and can look back on a history spanning almost 165 years. The company specialises in industrial coatings.

In view of the changed economic conditions and the absence of a succession plan, the Aschaffenburg-based paint and varnish manufacturer has, after careful consideration, decided to cease its business operations in their current form as at 31 December 2026 and to transfer its business to MIPA SE. This will ensure the long-term continuity of customer relationships and the product portfolio.

The Mipa Group will take over the existing customer relationships and the product portfolio, but not the production facility in Aschaffenburg. In future, the manufacture of the relevant products will be distributed across the Mipa Group’s production sites. Regional customers in the Aschaffenburg area will also be served by Mipa Direkt GmbH. This ensures that direct and personalised customer support remains available locally.
