Magirus GmbH has signed an agreement to acquire Achleitner Fahrzeugbau GmbH, marking a strategic move to expand its portfolio of mission-critical vehicles.
The deal, announced on 1 October 2025, will see the long-established manufacturer of firefighting and disaster control technology add Achleitner’s expertise in customised special-purpose vehicles to its offering.
The Austrian company is a leader in robust all-wheel-drive and armoured solutions, designed for demanding terrain and complex operating conditions.
The acquisition will create new opportunities for Magirus to serve fire departments and emergency services that operate in difficult environments, as well as security and defence applications.
By combining Achleitner’s off-road and armoured vehicle capabilities with Magirus’ established firefighting and disaster response technology, the company will broaden its ability to deliver highly specialised vehicles for extreme and safety-related missions.
Fatmir Veselaj, CEO of Magirus GmbH, highlighted the significance of the agreement, stating that the acquisition was a vital step in the company’s transformation plan.
He noted that Achleitner’s expertise would strengthen Magirus’ capacity and allow it to offer customers a wider range of advanced solutions.
The transaction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.
