Enthusiasm Connects
Wiedenmann and Köppl Announce Strategic Partnership
Rammingen near Ulm, February 5, 2026
It is their shared enthusiasm for innovation, highest quality, reliability, and precision that drives Wiedenmann and Köppl. However, this is far from the only common ground between the two brands. As owner-managed companies, Köppl and Wiedenmann are committed to investing in product development and to maintaining a high level of value creation through production in Germany.
Building on this shared foundation of values, Wiedenmann GmbH, headquartered in Rammingen, and Köppl GmbH, based in Saldenburg, are establishing a strategic partnership in the field of product development. Köppl contributes its expertise primarily in drive and traction technology, while the Wiedenmann Group complements the collaboration with its specialist know-how in the design of custom machines for the professional maintenance of golf and sports turf.
The results are already impressive: after just nine months of development, the Wiedenmann Group is presenting its first walk-behind aerator.
The TERRA CORE M6 was developed based on extensive feedback from greenkeepers and daily users, as well as through close cooperation with Köppl. Built on the drive unit of the Köppl TAURUS—a robust workhorse from Köppl—the TERRA CORE M6 combines high area performance with the precision and hole quality for which the Wiedenmann brand is renowned. The machine is designed for ease of operation and maintenance-friendly servicing.
“The pragmatic and professional collaboration with our colleagues at Köppl impressed us just as much as the speed and precision of the development project. Thanks to our partner Köppl, we were able to complete the development of the TERRA CORE M6 in just nine months—record time,” says Michael Rüter, CEO of the Wiedenmann Group.
“Köppl has established a strong reputation as a reliable partner in agriculture, forestry, and landscaping. The strategic partnership with the Wiedenmann Group enables us to enter a new market segment—professional golf and sports turf maintenance. Both companies will benefit from this development cooperation in the long term,” says Karl Köppl, Managing Director of Köppl GmbH.
