ARCA Holding GmbH and Peter Gomber GmbH join forces
Freienbach, 8. April 2024
Peter Gomber GmbH («Gomber») is a wood packaging specialist in Rhineland-Palatinate, which has been run as a traditional family business since its foundation in 1946. Gomber specialises in the manufacturing of wooden pallets, crates and packaging solutions and has achieved its success over the years through tailor-made solutions and close customer relationships, resulting in an excellent reputation in the region.
The market for wood packaging is characterised by sustainable growth as well as resilient and cyclically robust business models. It is highly fragmented and dominated by local, owner-managed companies that increasingly need to innovate and digitalise.
Gomber is joining forces with ARCA Holding GmbH (“ARCA”) to create synergies with future acquisitions, particularly in the areas of procurement, digitalisation and process optimisation. Joining the group will ensure the further growth and sustainable existence of Gomber and contribute to the optimisation of its product and service offering.
Gomber will maintain its independent market presence. Franz Schuler, who has successfully managed the company for over 20 years, will continue his operational management role. Together with the support of ARCA, this ensures a succession solution for Gomber and continuity for customers and partners.
