<p><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="List General Contractor GmbH (Company)">List General Contractor GmbH</a> (List GC), the international market leader for the interior and outfitting of superyachts and private residences has joined forces with German joinery company <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6874" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cohrs Werkstätten GmbH (Company)">Cohrs Werkstätten</a>. Both companies are united by a long tradition as regionally rooted family businesses as well as &nbsp;their passion for exceptional craftsmanship. The company is based in Bad Fallingbostel in the north of Germany, within the triangle of Hamburg, Hanover and &nbsp;Bremen.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/243426/image/large-8cca7db46c73d9c8ee636adcf800f250.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/243426">Kurt-Heinrich Cohrs commented, "We don't just share the same values as a down-to-earth family business with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="List General Contractor GmbH (Company)">List &nbsp;GC</a>, but also the highest demands on state-of-the-art craftsmanship. This is why we're so &nbsp;pleased to have found in <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="List General Contractor GmbH (Company)">List GC</a> the perfect successor for our traditional company with 45 &nbsp;employees. The name "Cohrs" will continue until further notice and Kurt-Heinrich Cohrs will also continue to hold his position as Managing Director in the coming years. Theresa Ludwiger-List adds: "As a family member and managing director, I'm particularly pleased &nbsp;that we can secure the succession of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6874" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cohrs Werkstätten GmbH (Company)">Cohrs Werkstätten</a> with this acquisition and at the &nbsp;same time take another important step in expanding <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="List General Contractor GmbH (Company)">List GC</a>. With Kurt-Heinrich Cohrs, we have the right partner on board for this." <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/193212/image/large-e03aa61f13af90517e0fccb28ac7fa53.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/193212">The merger between <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="List General Contractor GmbH (Company)">List GC</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6874" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cohrs Werkstätten GmbH (Company)">Cohrs Werkstätten</a> also provides new impetus against the &nbsp;shortage of skilled workers. "The merger with Cohrs in Bad Fallingbostel not only &nbsp;increases our production capacity by 4,500 square-metres, but also provides us with an additional 45 &nbsp;highly trained and specialised professionals," emphasises List GC Managing Director Josef Payerhofer. Even still, the company is continuing to build up its staff at its own site in &nbsp;Austria: with currently 280 employees in Bad Erlach, of which around 100 are craftsmen, &nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="List General Contractor GmbH (Company)">List GC</a> is one of the top employers in southern Lower Austria. List GC places particular &nbsp;emphasis on apprentice training and the internal further training of skilled workers – a &nbsp;focus that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="List General Contractor GmbH (Company)">List GC</a> intends to carry on in Germany with the continuation of Cohrs.</p><p>With Cohrs' location in the north of Germany, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="List General Contractor GmbH (Company)">List GC</a> is also geographically closer to its &nbsp;long-standing customers in the yacht new build and refit sector and can therefore ensure &nbsp;the best support relationship in the future, especially when it comes to on-site assembly. Cohrs' extensive expertise in the market segment of exclusive private residences also &nbsp;strengthens the expansion of this important business area. "As Cohrs' successor, here at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="List General Contractor GmbH (Company)">List GC</a> we're gaining new and exciting insights into the respective areas of expertise. By &nbsp;learning from each other, we can make optimal use of synergies in the future," concludes Christian Bolinger, Managing Director responsible for sales at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="List General Contractor GmbH (Company)">List GC</a>.</p>
