Altmann Analytik Acquires Laboratory Supplier Kobe

Kobe’s roots date back to 1905. Over generations, the company has established itself as a reliable partner for laboratory and hospital supplies. Its personalized consulting, close customer relationships, and extensive product range for research institutions, universities, and industrial laboratories are particularly valued. Altmann Analytik will continue to build on these strengths at Kobe in the future.

For customers of both companies, continuity remains a central aspect of the acquisition. The Kobe brand, the existing website, and the usual points of contact will remain in place for the time being. At the same time, customers will benefit in the future from Altmann Analytik’s expanded capabilities, including additional product lines and modern e-commerce solutions.

Tanja Hönisch, Head of Sales at Altmann Analytik, commented on the acquisition: “With Kobe, we are gaining a company that has stood for reliability, quality service, and customer focus for generations. Kobe’s long-standing market position perfectly complements our strengths in e-commerce, product diversity, and international sourcing. Together, we aim to offer our customers even more choice, consistently excellent service, and a long-term, reliable partnership.”

Otto-Alexander Kobe on the business succession: “For me personally, it was important to find a successor who shares the values of our family business and will continue to nurture customer relationships with the same passion. In Altmann Analytik, we have found a partner to whom we can entrust our customers and suppliers with complete confidence. We look forward to actively supporting the transition phase and shaping the future of Kobe together.”
