Bergeijk / Weiler-Simmerberg – WILVO, a leading partner for high-tech OEMs in high-mix, low-volume metal manufacturing, announces that LEUKA GmbH (“LEUKA”), a renowned German specialist in the production of high-quality precision components and precision-engineered parts, has agreed to become part of WILVO. Following its earlier expansion in Germany through the acquisition of Buchberger, WILVO is taking the next step in building a strong European network of specialised high-tech manufacturing companies. For LEUKA, this partnership provides a solid foundation for continued growth and technological advancement. The completion of the transaction is still subject to approval by competent authorities.
For more than forty years, LEUKA has built a strong reputation as a technology partner for customers in industries including aerospace, the semiconductor industry and defence. The company is recognised for its high-precision machining capabilities, technological expertise and long-standing customer relationships. As part of WILVO, LEUKA will gain access to a strong international platform, additional investment opportunities, and enhanced technological and operational capabilities. At the same time, WILVO strengthens its position through LEUKA’s specialised expertise, complementary customer portfolio and strong market presence.
LEUKA will continue to operate independently from its facility in Weiler-Simmerberg. The current management team, Berthold Zinth and Karl-Heinz Leuze, will remain responsible for the day-to-day management of the company. For customers and employees, this ensures continuity, with the same high level of service and quality they have relied on for many years.

“LEUKA is a strong company with an excellent reputation in the European high-tech manufacturing industry. Its technical expertise, entrepreneurial culture and unwavering focus on quality are an excellent fit with WILVO. We look forward to working together with Berthold Zinth, Karl-Heinz Leuze and their team to further strengthen LEUKA’s future and create new growth opportunities for our customers.”
For LEUKA, this partnership marks an important step towards the future. Increasing technological complexity, growing international market demand and ambitious growth objectives require continued investment, greater scale, and a partner that shares the same long-term vision.
Berthold Zinth and Karl-Heinz Leuze, Managing Directors of LEUKA:
“Over the past decades, LEUKA has evolved into a leading specialist in high-precision machining. To continue supporting our customers in the best possible way while seizing new growth opportunities, we were looking for a partner that shares our vision, culture and ambition. In WILVO, we have found that partner. It was important to us that our customers, employees and our location continue to have a clear long-term perspective. Together, we are laying a strong foundation for the next phase in our company’s development. In short: LEUKA remains LEUKA, strengthened by the power of WILVO.”
