A+B becomes part of Heinz Sanders GmbH
Entry dated 1 September 2025
We are pleased to announce that A+B Werkzeuge Maschinen Handels GmbH from Ahaus has officially merged with Heinz Sanders GmbH. The merger has been entered in the commercial register – with immediate effect, we will be operating jointly under the name Heinz Sanders GmbH.
Shared values – combined strengths
The history of this successful collaboration dates back to 2020, when Walter Bahr handed over his company to the three managing directors of Heinz Sanders GmbH – Antoon Scholte-Aalbes, Jürgen Suntrup and Hermann Hebbelmann – after more than 33 years of independence. This step was based not only on shared business priorities, but also on a long-standing friendly relationship between the two companies.
The merger now complete, we are combining our expertise as a high-performance specialist wholesaler for machinery, tools, welding and compressed air technology, and industrial supplies. The synergies of this combination will lead to more efficient processes, shorter distances and even closer integration of sales and customer service.
Four locations – one goal: customer proximity and quality
With our four locations in Papenburg, Niederlangen, Spelle and Ahaus, we now offer comprehensive service from Emsland to Münsterland and beyond – for customers from the North Sea to the Ruhr area.
Continuity for our partners.
