production plants (especially cleanrooms) are the company's main focus. The company was founded in 1912 by Karl Meissner and Paul Wurst. For the first 50 years of its existence, Meissner + Wurst mainly produced extraction units, fans and equipment for ventilation technology. In the 1960s, Meissner + Wurst established itself as a pioneer in the development of cleanroom technology. Since the 1990s, the company expanded worldwide by extending its business areas, founding new branch offices and acquiring companies. Jenoptik took over Meissner + Wurst in October 1994 and merged it with Zander Klimatechnik AG from Nuremberg in August 1998 to form M+W Zander. The building services engineering division was spun off from the group in a management buyout under the name M+W Zander Gebäudetechnik GmbH in 2004 and was renamed Caverion Deutschland GmbH in February 2007. In 2005 the Swiss investor Springwater Capital took over M+W Zander, and in 2008 the facility management division was transferred to HSG, which belongs to the Bilfinger Group. Since then, the company has operated under the name of M+W Group, or M+W for short, and is 100% owned by the Austrian holding company Stumpf Group since 2009. The Exyte Group was established in 2018 from a reorganization of the M+W Group''.''
