Wacker Neuson and Doosan Bobcat are no longer in talks regarding an acquisition.
In late 2025, Wacker Neuson issued a news release confirming its executive board was in advanced discussions with Doosan Bobcat regarding the possible acquisition of a majority stake in Wacker Neuson as well as a public takeover. Doosan Bobcat was considering the acquisition of 63 per cent of Wacker Neuson’s share capital in the form of an all-cash offer to all remaining Wacker Neuson shareholders.
On Jan. 22, Wacker Neuson announced the discussion will no longer continue.
“Wacker Neuson Group remains focused on executing its Strategy 2030 pursuing sustainable growth,” the company said in a news release.
Wacker Neuson is a global manufacturer of construction and compact equipment. The company’s roots date back 177 years ago when Johann Christian Wacker set up a blacksmith shop in Dresden, Germany.
Today the Wacker Neuson Group, headquartered in Munich, Germany, employs about 6,000 people worldwide.
