MAPAL sets the course for the future

Change of general partner to SE & Co. KG

MAPAL Fabrik für Präzisionswerkzeuge Dr. Kress KG, the headquarters of the internationally active supplier of precision tools and machining solutions based in Aalen, is changing its legal structure. On 1 June 2025, the previous limited partnership (KG) will be converted into an SE & Co. KG and will then operate under the name MAPAL Dr Kress SE & Co. KG.

With the new legal form, MAPAL is creating the basis for a modern and sustainable corporate structure. The change of name is an important step in the strategic development of the company group and takes account of the increasing complexity of the market environment, the growing international customer base and the need for more efficient decision-making processes.

‘We made a conscious decision in favour of SE & Co. KG as the new legal form,’ emphasises Dr Jochen Kress, who will continue to lead the company as President. ‘The new structure simplifies the control and management of the company and strengthens entrepreneurial responsibility within the management team. It also contributes to MAPAL's competitiveness in the medium and long term and thus to its future security. I would like to emphasise that this organisational development does not change the ownership structure of MAPAL: We are and will remain a family business.’
 

No impact on business relationships and labour relations

For customers, suppliers and partners, day-to-day business will remain unaffected by the reorganisation. The change of name will also have no impact on employees. Dr Jochen Kress: ‘Our success is based on the trusting and long-term cooperation with our employees, customers, suppliers and partners. In the new structure, these relationships will remain the foundation of our actions as well. We look forward to shaping the next steps together.’
