MIPA Takes Over Aschaffenburg Paint and Varnish Factory’s Business

Effective 1 January 2027, MIPA SE would acquire Dr. W. Kohlhaus GmbH, a paint and coatings manufacturer based in Aschaffenburg. The company develops, manufactures and markets industrial coatings under the ALFA Lacke brand and has a history of nearly 165 years.

In response to changing economic conditions and the absence of a succession arrangement, the Aschaffenburg-based paint and coatings manufacturer has decided to end its operations in their current form on 31 December 2026 and transfer its business to MIPA SE. The move is intended to ensure continuity for customers and maintain the company’s product portfolio.

The Mipa Group will take over the existing customer relationships and the product portfolio, but not the production facility in Aschaffenburg. In the 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.
