Year 2006 saw WAECO score the best annual result in its
corporate history. On the 1st of March 2007 the
company became part of the Swedish-based Dometic
GROUP. The merger strengthened Dometic’s position as
a global player in the leisure market, an industry
traditionally dominated by medium-sized enterprises.
WAECO’s former managing partners decided to sell all
shares in WAECO companies worldwide in order to clear
the hurdles of management succession and generation
change and, thus, ensure the company’s continuity in the
long run. Dometic, with perfectly complementary products,
business segments and geographical markets, was the
ideal industry partner in this endeavour.
Things look very similar from Dometic’s perspective: “The
key rationale behind the acquisition is to continue and
extend our product range and growth and to create a
company that on a global level can be a full range
supplier of comfort products to all types of vehicles and
boats,” says Lars Johansson, President and CEO of Dometic.

Welcome to a new era for WAECO. To put it plainly,
that’s the outcome of a happy union for WAECO
customers and dealers. Everything the WAECO brand has
stood for so far will remain the same: innovative
products, many of them based on unique technology,
a high quality standard, and a great price/performance
ratio. The well-established brand names will be
retained, and the familiar packaging design.
Additionally, customers and trading partners will
benefit from the powerful impact of the new Dometic
GROUP, its joint workforce of 6000 people and its
presence in 100 countries worldwide. From now on you
will have direct access to the combined know-how of
two market leaders – to their networked product
development and manufacturing resources, and to a
seamless range of top products for the RV and marine
markets.
