Investment rationale of Odewald KMU

The success factors of Spieth & Wensky are the good price-performance ratio, the comprehensive range of products, and the fashionable design. The high quality –  especially of all leather products – is ensured via the joint venture with a strategically important producer in India. The stable and long-term relationships with well-known customers strengthen the market position, which is to be further enhanced in the long term by expanding the product range, further market penetration, and external growth. Odewald KMU has invested in Spieth & Wensky as part of a succession plan.

“The collaboration with Odewald KMU could not be better. We communicate at eye level and have regular exchanges, but can act freely in our daily business. We are pursuing the same goals, thus creating mutual trust and reliability.”
