We have been innovative and creative since 1823. Especially in our anniversary year, we are proud of 200 years of experience with which we are now starting into the next century.

As a strategically leading holding company, we are developing our three business units focusing on their innovation, geographical expansion and securing their market position. Through management and consulting, we provide a contribution to their growth by supporting their finance and IT with our “Shared Services”. This paves the way for the realization of our cross-company digitization strategy and thus creates the basis for our progress.
