Germany, Freilassing-Schwenningen – April 7, 2025. Waldmann and hatec, two historic family-owned companies from the Black Forest in Germany, announced their official merger. Under the common vision of blackforestlight, they will shape the future of the lighting industry together. As experts in innovative lighting systems for office, industrial, care, and health sectors, the Waldmann Group has announced the acquisition of the lighting manufacturer hatec located in Münstertal.

Waldmann, with over 800 employees worldwide, is one of the leading companies in the lighting industry. Through this acquisition, Waldmann not only expands its product portfolio but also underscores its steadfast commitment to Germany as a significant production base. "This investment is focused on the development of the German site and the future of German lighting system manufacturing," emphasizes Christoph Waldmann, the fourth-generation heir and CEO of the Waldmann Group.
hatec: Innovation and Exceptional Execution

For decades, hatec has been synonymous with high-quality customized lighting solutions. The company is led by the second-generation brothers Heribert (entrepreneur) and Andreas Pfefferle (architect).

Combining business vision with technical expertise, they have successfully delivered numerous remarkable lighting projects. Their secret to success is: "Listen, understand, act." With this philosophy, hatec has stood out in the competition with large European manufacturers, winning numerous prestigious projects and establishing an excellent market reputation.
Waldmann: Upgrading Customized Service
After the acquisition, hatec's base in Münstertal will be preserved, and the Pfefferle brothers will continue to serve as management. The entire hatec team will remain in place. For Waldmann, integrating hatec means a strategic expansion of its service portfolio. Christoph Waldmann says, "We aim to provide our customers with more personalized lighting solutions and be more flexible in responding to specific project needs."
When entrepreneurs with shared values join forces, a solid foundation for stability and innovation is laid. With the special perseverance of the Swabian-Baden region, Waldmann and hatec are setting a new benchmark for the lighting industry with outstanding effects – from the Black Forest, German-made.
