The long-established company Deutsche Werkstätten from Dresden-Hellerau has a new owner. After more than three decades at the helm, managing partner Fritz Straub is handing over the majority of his shares to the French group Ateliers De France, as announced by Deutsche Werkstätten. This secures the long-term future of the company.
"The quality of Deutsche Werkstätten is internationally recognized," said Antoine Courtois, President of Groupe Ateliers De France, which specializes in the restoration of historical monuments and high-quality interior and building construction. The company is proud to be able to help shape the future of this traditional brand. "Throughout its long history, Deutsche Werkstätten has shown time and again that tradition and renewal are not opposites," added Straub, who continues to hold shares in the company.
