AxFlow Germany, part of AxFlow, the Fluid Handling Solutions business group of Axel Johnson International, grows its service business in Switzerland through the acquisition of Ateliers Ehrismann SA.
“The acquisition of Ateliers Ehrismann will make a great addition to AxFlow and is in line with our business group strategy to continue to expand our service business,” says Ole Weiner, CEO of AxFlow Holding.
Founded in 1923, Ateliers Ehrismann SA is a Geneva-based company active in the service of electric motors, pumps and other electrical and mechanical machinery. Ateliers Ehrismann SA also supplies frequency converters and is experienced in the complete manufacture of mechanical spare parts and electromechanical prototypes.

“Ateliers is a leader in their local niche market and has a prominent market recognition. With Ateliers Ehrismann on board we see an opportunity for sales synergies by expanding the distribution of AxFlow’s products and services to customers in the region, while at the same time providing an even better service offering to our existing customers in Switzerland that we look after from our sales office in Muttenz,” says Georg Niebch, Managing Director of AxFlow Germany.
Martine Ehrismann, owner of Ateliers Ehrismann, comments: “I am very happy that AxFlow will maintain the continuity of our company and will develop its structure with the new opportunities that the company offers. The sustainable strategy of both companies provides a very good basis for further growth.”
