Hawa has acquired the Spanish KLEIN group

On October 15, 2024, Hawa Sliding Solutions AG took over the internationally operating KLEIN group, which has its headquarters in Barcelona, Spain.

Both companies are specialists and global market leaders in the sliding sector. Hawa Sliding Solutions AG is expanding its range of sliding solutions and reinforcing its global market position with this acquisition.

The family-run KLEIN company, which was established in 1931, made a name for itself with innovations in natural interior design. The company has 65 employees, five of whom work at its New Jersey location in the USA. KLEIN completes the Hawa portfolio in the “in and on buildings” sectors with sliding and folding door systems, and also solutions for outdoor areas.

The existing locations in Spain and also the management team at KLEIN will remain the same. We are particularly endeavoring to stimulate long-term growth with the acquisition. The Hawa and KLEIN brands will be promoted as separate retail brands on the company’s international markets.

“We are reinforcing our company over the long term with KLEIN. Since we are both family-run companies, we share the same values and principles. Together with our new colleagues, we can provide our customers with an even more comprehensive range of sliding solutions,” says Ezequiel Di Claudio, CEO of Hawa Sliding Solutions AG and chair of the newly created group management.

Marc Tàrrega Klein, Managing Director of KLEIN Ibérica S.A.U, adds: “We are delighted to be able to announce that Klein Ibérica S.A.U. is now part of the Hawa Group. This takeover is recognition of our 90-year history and the commitment of our team. It opens up new perspectives for us, and reinforces our ability to successfully overcome future challenges.”
