Aker Wirth
Earlier this year, Wirth became a fully controlled subsidiary of Aker Solutions, a Norwegian-owned company. Wirth Maschinen- und Bohrgeräte-Fabrik GmbH has since changed its name to Aker Wirth GmbH, reflecting the change of ownership and the integration that has taken place since the acquisition. The acquisition is intended to strengthen collaboration on Aker Solutions drilling activities and Wirth’s mining and construction division. Newly-produced building signage, machine labeling, corporate brochures and marketing materials all reflect the name change.
