Congratulations from companions

In 2025, we can look back with pride on 70 years of the HÖRMANN Group - a history characterized by innovation, responsibility and cooperation based on partnership. Since the company was founded by Hans Hörmann, we have continued to develop and are now a leading company in the automotive, intralogistics, communication and engineering sectors. This success would not have been possible without the support of our loyal companions, valued partners and a dedicated team.

When I started working at HÖRMANN on August 1, 1980, there was a large marquee in the company parking lot because the company was celebrating its 25th anniversary at the time. In the 45 years since then, Hans Hörmann has given me the opportunity to work in many different positions and areas of responsibility. The range of activities was as varied as it was sometimes challenging and always characterized by independent entrepreneurial action. From security technology to sirens/warning systems, radioactivity monitoring systems and mobile communications to renewable energies with a focus on geothermal energy, it has been a field of activity that has both challenged and fulfilled me throughout my professional life. Tackling all these different topics is evidence of our company founder's pronounced entrepreneurship; it is to be hoped that this outstanding quality will remain a driving force for the future, even after 70 years at HÖRMANN. Even after retiring a year ago, I remain committed to the company and the Hörmann family in particular and wish them all the best for the future.

 

My first contact with HÖRMANN was in 1988. As the person responsible for the VW engine plant in Karl-Marx-Stadt, now Chemnitz again, I got to know and appreciate the company's expertise in the field of industrial technology at the time. The professional expertise and empathetic cooperation led to the joint founding of HÖRMANN-BARKAS GmbH after 1989. Since then, "Haus Hörmann" has repeatedly impressed me with its performance and the likeability of a medium-sized family business, both in my work at VW in Wolfsburg and at Porsche in Leipzig.

I am therefore delighted to be able to continue to support the Hörmann family and the entire "HÖRMANNSCHAFT" with my work on the advisory board after my active professional life. I would like to extend my warmest congratulations on the company's 70th anniversary and especially to Mr. Hans Hörmann for his life's work.

I met Hans Hörmann by chance in the 70s while deep-snow skiing on the Arlberg. We became friends, often went sailing together and met up again every year in St. Christoph am Arlberg. Then one day he asked me on the chairlift: Are you coming to me? That was in 1987, and shortly afterwards we founded HÖRMANN Logistik and made it a success.

I still value Hans Hörmann as a friend today, and I appreciate his claim to 'recognize potential, promote potential'. Thank you, Hans. And congratulations.

 

Congratulations on the company's 70th anniversary. I am proud to have been a member of the Hörmann Group with our company, SITEC Industrietechnologie GmbH Chemnitz, for over 34 years.

We would like to thank the founder of the HÖRMANN Group, Mr. Hans Hörmann, for his special commitment to the founding and development of SITEC Industrietechnologie GmbH.

We wish the management and all employees of the HÖRMANN Group good health and continued business success.

70 years of Hörmann means 70 years of stability and entrepreneurial success for me. I noticed this stability also in the commitment in East Germany, especially in Chemnitz, with joy, recognition and curiosity. My interest led to a job at Hörmann in Chemnitz in 2001, which offered entrepreneurial freedom for the realization of complete vehicle developments. I was impressed by the trust placed in me, the open atmosphere and the great freedom for the management to make decisions. Working under such conditions inspires not only me, but our entire Hörmann vehicle engineering team in Chemnitz, Dresden and Dessau. It is a special experience for me to see how innovations are strived for and the determination with which they are implemented. I am always motivated anew to contribute to the design of further innovative vehicle projects and to Hörmann's good reputation and to continue to postpone my retirement.

 

70 years of HÖRMANN! A big anniversary for a company in which I was able to share responsibility as Managing Director for more than three decades. With the fall of the Berlin Wall, the first HÖRMANN company, HÖRMANN Barkas Industrietechnik GmbH, was founded as a joint venture in the former GDR - three days before reunification! From 1990 to 2015, I was the Managing Director responsible for both HÖRMANN Industrietechnik GmbH and Voith Industrial Services, then Managing Director of HÖRMANN Barkas Metallbau GmbH until my retirement in 2023.

I am proud to have been involved in the development of the HÖRMANN Group for over 30 years and wish the HÖRMANN Group continued great success, stable earnings and motivated employees.
