Young craftsmen looks into the future: Wastlhuber will be 100!

Mühldorf am Inn, Deutschland - In Mühldorf there is a breath of fresh air in the traditional Wastlhuber carpenter. Michael Obereisenbuchner, who took over the carpentry of Sepp Wastlhuber, has taken the challenge of company succession with flying colors. During an interview in 2018, the then 24-year-old was asked for the first time whether he would like to succeed. At that time he knew nothing about the search for a successor. But the young man, encouraged by a lecturer in his master school, ventured and applied.

After a two -month phase as a journeyman and the end of his master's certificate, Obereisenbuchner worked in the company for four years and prepared intensively for the takeover. Management consultant Reinhold Wanner accompanied the handover process and emphasized the importance of different skills for the role of an entrepreneur.

a well thought -out handover process

The Wastlhuber carpentry, which celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2026, was able to take 15 employees and their families on the journey, which after two years of preliminary planning led to a smooth change of management. In October 2022, the employees were informed about the upcoming changes, and to facilitate many, everyone stayed in the company.

"It is reassuring to know that the workforce remains part of the company," says Matthias Hoferer, the deputy of Obereisenbuchner. In order to ensure continuity, Axel Wastlhuber, the predecessor, remains in the company until the end of 2026 and is available to advise Obereisenbuchner with advice and action. A team of three, consisting of Obereisenbuchner, Wastlhuber and Hoferer, makes the decisions together.

digitization and new offers

One of the trademarks of Obereisenbuchner's leadership is his commitment to digitization. So he launched his own website to make the Wastlhuber carpenter visible online. With a wide range of services ranging from high-quality construction and furniture grinding to a possible expansion for wage work, the carpentry has made a name for both in Mühldorf and all over Europe.

The company succession is not only important for the Wastlhuber carpenter.

A well -planned follow -up process is crucial for the stability and the continued existence of carpenters. actova emphasizes that early planning of the successor, ideally at least five years before the planned change, is of great importance to find suitable successors and to integrate them into the company.
