Without Karl Rehfuß I would proba­b­ly have despai­red of the story long ago 

Without Karl Rehfuß and his often selfless and always optimi­stic commit­ment, I would proba­b­ly have despai­red of histo­ry long ago. All of us here are really glad to have had exact­ly this CORE expert at our side in these past diffi­cult times.

Zukunfts­fä­hig­keit für WIBRE im Einklang mit der Familie gesichert 

Wir hatten bei uns eine länger andau­ern­de, unzufrie­den­stel­len­de Situa­ti­on bzgl. der Fortfüh­rung des Famili­en­un­ter­neh­mens. Durch die Unter­stüt­zung der Herren Rehfuß und Grepp­mair von KERN wurde erstmals der Weg für gemein­sa­me Ziele geebnet. Die Zukunfts­fä­hig­keit für WIBRE ist somit für meinen Bruder und mich im Einklang mit der gesam­ten Familie gesichert.

Besten Dank für die Begleitung!

Mr Rehfuß from KERN provi­ded us with compe­tent and profes­sio­nal support at all times. 

Mr. Rehfuß from the KERN locati­on in Stutt­gart provi­ded us with compe­tent and profes­sio­nal support at all times during the compa­ny takeover. Even diffi­cult phases were handled successful­ly and prompt­ly. The advice & support was important and helped us in all aspects of this very complex topic.

Maintai­ned a constant dialo­gue between myself as the seller and the poten­ti­al acquirers 


M.B. - Project develo­per from Buxtehude  owner of a proper­ty develo­p­ment company 

I parti­cu­lar­ly appre­cia­ted the highly profes­sio­nal and trust­wor­t­hy manner in which KERN and Mr. Ingo Claus dealt with me as the seller of the compa­ny and with the interes­ted parties. Mr. Claus always acted in a soluti­on-orien­ted manner and maintai­ned constant dialo­gue between me as the seller and the poten­ti­al buyers. Even though the sale did not ultim­ate­ly go through due to exter­nal circum­s­tances, I was very satis­fied with the work done by Kern and Mr Claus and would recom­mend Kern and him without reser­va­ti­on at any time.

KERN’s help, advice & support is worth its weight in gold

As an entre­pre­neur with over 40 years of profes­sio­nal experi­ence, you certain­ly know a lot about a lot of things, but in no way about “succes­si­on”. :-). I can only highly recom­mend Nils Koerber and Ingo Claus. Emotio­nal­ly, human­ly and profes­sio­nal­ly, succes­si­on is one of the most diffi­cult tasks that an entre­pre­neur has to solve. The help, advice & support is worth its weight in gold and has really helped us in all aspects of this very complex topic. And it all worked out.

We have Ingo Claus from KERN to thank for the unexpec­ted­ly successful sale of our company 


Katha­ri­na Leisner - Specia­list planner from Harsewinkel  Inhabe­rin eines Ingenieur- und Planungsbüros 

Mr. Ingo Claus had accom­pa­nied us in the diffi­cult task of finding a suita­ble succes­sor for our expert office. We owe the unexpec­ted­ly successful sale of our compa­ny to him. Mr Claus has a fine sense for tricky negotia­ting situa­tions, skilful­ly and calmly he finds the right ideas for soluti­ons that are accep­ta­ble to both contrac­ting parties. Mr Claus accom­pa­nied the project with a wealth of experi­ence, knowledge of human nature and negotia­ting skills. We are happy to recom­mend him.
