Client: Hanshans Master Carpentry Date: July 22, 2025 Category: View Project

Successful Business Succession

We found a sustainable solution that ensures the company’s successful transition to the next generation.

Professional Process Management

Wanner GmbH guided the entire sales process in a structured, transparent, and reliable manner.

Trustful Cooperation

From the very first conversation, an open and trust-based working relationship developed, characterized by mutual respect.

Perfect Fit

The new owner is an excellent fit for the company and the team, both professionally and personally.

As an owner-managed master craftsman business with a focus on comprehensive property renovation and refurbishment, we have been supporting our clients for many years—from planning to final execution—including the coordination and management of all associated trades. It was therefore particularly important for us, as part of our age-related succession planning, to find a solution that ensures the continuity of our company, involves our long-standing and reliable team, and aligns with our core values.

Problem definition

Solution

We became aware of Wanner GmbH through a professional lecture—particularly Mr. Dipl.-Ing. Reinhold Wanner, who immediately impressed us with his clear, practical, and at the same time empathetic approach. From the very first conversation, a strong sense of trust was established, forming the foundation for our continued collaboration.

“What was particularly relieving for us was that all meetings with potential buyers were prepared, moderated, and documented by Wanner. The selection and involvement of a suitable lawyer, as well as the structured support during the contract negotiations, were also fully managed by them.”

— Ms. Elisabeth Hanshans, Master Carpenter and Seller

Description

The succession of the Hanshans master carpentry business was successfully realized with the support of Wanner GmbH. From the initial assessment and company valuation to the selection of a suitable buyer and the final signing of the contract, the entire process was professionally managed. Particularly reassuring for the family owners was that all meetings with prospective buyers were prepared, facilitated, and documented, and that all legal coordination was fully handled in cooperation with a suitable lawyer.

The transition phase ultimately confirmed that the decision was the right one: the new owner has integrated seamlessly into the business, the team is motivated, and the collaboration is described as very positive by all parties. This enabled a succession solution that equally secures the continuity of the company, the family’s values, and the future of the team.
