The existential crisis of the long-established Bielefeld-based company UMETA has come to a happy end: After the insolvency of the leading global supplier of lubrication technology, which was founded in 1926, made headlines across Germany in December 2023, WIGGENtech GmbH has now taken over the company. The majority of jobs will be retained.

The new company operates under the name UMETA Germany GmbH & Co. The old UMETA Hermann Ulrichskötter Metallwarenfabrik GmbH & Co KG filed for insolvency on December 5, 2023, after sales had plummeted in 2023. The insolvency administrator appointed by Bielefeld Local Court, Dr. Yorck Tilman Streitbörger, stabilized sales and ended short-time working. Business was successfully continued for more than six months during the ongoing insolvency proceedings. In the search for an investor, Streitbörger initiated a merger & acquisition process. After intensive negotiations, three potential buyers were shortlisted.

With the approval of the creditors’ committee, the insolvency administrator decided in favor of WIGGENtech GmbH from Lippstadt. The long-term planning investor has not only acquired the operating company, but also the property in Bielefeld-Ummeln. As a result of the transferring restructuring, 79 of the original 87 jobs at UMETA will be retained. A rescue company is in place for employees who have left the company.

UMETA’s customers include some of the world’s leading names in mechanical engineering and commercial vehicle construction. The company’s “Made in Bielefeld” grease nipples in particular enjoy an excellent reputation worldwide.

The owner and Managing Director of WIGGENtech GmbH, Dr. Michael Wiggen, will take over the management of UMETA on July 1, 2024.

“In Dr. Michael Wiggen,” says Streitbörger, “we have found a top solution for UMETA.” The entrepreneur is “an excellent industry expert with many years of experience.” Dr. Wiggen explained: “UMETA has great products that complement WIGGENtech’s range in terms of technology and production very well. In addition, we expect UMETA’s international sales network to generate sales growth for both companies. Dr. Wiggen praises the motivation and commitment of the UMETA workforce. “The entire team welcomed us with open arms. We are already looking forward to celebrating UMETA’s 100th anniversary together in two years’ time.”

The outgoing Managing Director of UMETA, Frank Maser – grandson of the company founder – will take over the distribution of UMETA products in North America as an external contractual partner. UMETA of America, Inc. was not affected by the insolvency of the German parent company.

What do I do in case of burns, a tick bite or poisoning? And most importantly, how can I help others in an emergency? The Förderverein Notfallmedizin Bielefeld e.V. Luftrettungsstation Christoph 13 and K&L Verlag have set themselves the goal of answering these questions in a way that is suitable for children and have published an easy-to-understand coloring and workbook for girls and boys of elementary school age. We think: This is a good thing!

Therefore we support the project

The book with many pictures to color teaches playfully the skills to be able to give first aid in emergencies. It tells about the siblings Mario and Olivia, who, together with their dachshund Waldi, lead through various episodes. In 32 pages, they provide tips and advice on burns, heat stroke, tick bites, poisoning or shock. This gives the children age-appropriate knowledge so that they can behave properly in an emergency and summon help. At the same time, educators, teachers and parents can discuss and practice the illustrations with the children.

With the help of many local businesses, the coloring and workbooks can be distributed free of charge to elementary school children in the Soest. A commitment that we are very happy to endorse.
