Möhrle family office acquires German industrial SME firm

In a strategic move to strengthen its industrial capabilities, Peter Möhrle Holding, the family office of the Peter Möhrle entrepreneurial family, has announced the acquisition of Biersack Group, a leading German system supplier with a strong foothold in the automotive, aerospace, and semiconductor sectors. Known for its advanced machining capabilities, Biersack Group will now join the Möhrle family’s portfolio, reinforcing its commitment to long-term value creation through corporate investments.

Portfolio add in High-Tech and Precision Manufacturing

Through this acquisition, Peter Möhrle Holding enables its subsidiary, LR Pure Systems GmbH, based in Ditzingen near Stuttgart, to expand its expertise in machining. LR Pure Systems, a developer of ultra-high purity (UHP) gas and fluid systems, offers customized solutions for industries such as semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, and aerospace. By integrating Biersack’s machining capabilities, LR Pure Systems can enhance its technical offerings, creating a stronger synergy in the high-tech manufacturing landscape.

Biersack Group, with over 150 employees and 6,500 square meters of production space in Beilngries, Bavaria, has been a trusted name in precision manufacturing since 1948. Operating as a family business for three generations, it has established a reputation as a reliable, certified system supplier, providing custom, high-quality products to clients with demanding requirements. The company’s leadership remains in the hands of cousins Dominik and Michael Biersack, who bring extensive backgrounds in banking, engineering, and management to the firm’s continued growth.

The Hamburg-based Peter Möhrle family office

Peter Möhrle Holding, headquartered in Hamburg, stands out as a family office that prioritizes sustainable, long-term value creation over short-term returns. With a focus on corporate shareholdings, asset management, and real estate, the family office combines robust financial backing with agile decision-making to foster growth across diverse sectors. The acquisition of Biersack Group aligns with its “buy & build” strategy, which emphasizes close partnerships with management teams to drive corporate success. The family office approaches its investments with a partnership mentality, believing that trust and collaboration are essential for success. This philosophy extends to the real estate sector, where the Peter Möhrle Holding invests in both project developments and portfolio management, aiming to create lasting value and respond to changing market demands.

Peter Möhrle was a prominent German entrepreneur and philanthropist, most famously known for his role as the long-time owner of the Max Bahr hardware chain, which he transformed from a small timber trading business into a leading DIY and professional supplies brand with over 3,500 employees. After passing the company’s management to his son, Möhrle sold the business in 2007, redirecting the proceeds into the Peter Möhrle Foundation and the Peter Möhrle Holding. His philanthropic contributions included donations to the Elbphilharmonie and HafenCity University, supporting education and culture in Hamburg.
