It was in the year 1946 that the engineer Karl Fuhr, with quite a unique level of dedication and ingenuity, laid the foundation for a company that’s become a globally successful player.
Nothing has changed in this spirit to this very day: The know-how and the motivation of a great variety of people are our success factor to this day. This is why we ensure that our people enjoy the necessary scope for them to act on their own initiative, and rely entirely on their individual, professional commitment.
You can also rely on a highly qualified and strongly motivated team that draws on the most varied professional backgrounds and commands precise and in-depth knowledge of the markets, cultures and requirements of their industry. A team that is firmly committed to continuous improvement – every single day, year in, year out.
