A company of the KÖTTER Group
WAKO
Founded in 1904, the security service provider WAKO has been part of the KÖTTER Group since 2024.
The integration into the KÖTTER Security Group, Germany's largest family-run security service provider, was based on the retirement of the previous WAKO managing partner, Peter Schmidt, who successfully established the group on the German market over the past 50 years.
Peter Schmidt: "You don't just entrust your life's work to just anyone – you choose the right partner very carefully. I'm glad that it's KÖTTER Security. I know that our numerous customers and over 800 employees are now in good hands."
