WINTERSTEIGER Strengthens Its International Sports Business Through an Acquisition

The successful acquisition of QBL Systems, a Polish provider of rental and retail solutions, increases the depth of value creation within the WINTERSTEIGER Group and strengthens the competitiveness of the Division Sports.

In 2026, the Polish company QBL Systems was acquired. QBL is an established provider of rental and retail solutions for, among others, specialty sports retailers, mountain rail operators, rental service providers, and the hospitality industry. This move complements WINTERSTEIGER’s existing portfolio with additional design and equipment expertise.

The acquisition is part of a clear forward-looking strategy: WINTERSTEIGER is thereby strengthening its international competitiveness, expanding its own depth of value creation, and further developing its offerings in the area of store and equipment solutions. 

The acquisition establishes a central hub in Poland for the newly created Storage Systems business unit. QBL’s previous owner, Wojciech Śliwka, will remain the company’s managing director and will also assume leadership of the business unit.
