Warwick Announces New Owner

Nicolas and Hans-Peter Wilfer

Warwick has sent out an important announcement regarding their leadership. Hans-Peter Wilfer, who founded the company in 1982, will be stepping away from the company. However, he will be leaving it in good hands as he has passed the torch to his son, Nicolas Wilfer, who is the new sole owner of Warwick. A press release calls the handover a significant step that ushers in a new era for the brand.

“Managing manufacturing and personally signing the Warwick Signature instruments has always been important to me,” Hans-Peter says. “The handover to my son Nicolas is an important step to ensure that this tradition continues. Nicolas has already proven that he respects the Warwick heritage, and I am confident that he will lead the company successfully into the future.”

Nicolas also shared his thoughts in the statement:

“I am deeply honored to uphold my father’s esteemed legacy,” he said. “I eagerly anticipate the creation of all Warwick instruments, with a particular focus on designing and signing the Warwick Signature instruments, as I continue to honor my father’s enduring legacy.”

The press release wraps up by calling the event a milestone that “underlines Warwick’s commitment to quality and continuity.”
