Kurtz Ersa Holding celebrates 25th anniversary

After a very successful start, the corporate functions were successively expanded. Today, the holding company bundles the competence areas Finance/Controlling, Human Resources, Training with the Hammer Academy, IT/SAP, Software and Industry 4.0, Purchasing/Disposition, Supply Chain/Logistics, Real Estate, Quality Management/Sustainability and Marketing & Communication. The holding company currently employs 113 people. It has always been important for the business units to be able to act autonomously, quickly and close to the market in their customer-customer processes and technical innovations. At the same time, the aim remains to be a leader in business processes and to hold this together via the common bracket of the holding company.

"Thanks to the high motivation and expertise of our workforce, both in the holding company and in the business units, we have made tremendous progress here over the past 25 years. Then, over the past 15 years, we have also successively added our foreign holdings, first and foremost Kurtz Ersa Asia and Kurtz Ersa, Inc. in the USA. We are very proud to be able to speak and feel like Kurtz Ersa today - and not a collection of individual companies," says Ralph Knecht, CEO of Kurtz Ersa.

"In the year the holding company was founded, Kurtz Ersa generated sales of less than 100 million euros with less than 1,000 employees - last year, we turned over 360 million Euros with a team of 1,500. This is almost a fourfold increase in business volume, which is even more significant considering the difficult economic conditions of the recent past," says Thomas Mühleck, CFO of Kurtz Ersa. This was also associated with the transformation from a conglomerate to a global machine builder with its three main pillars Electronics Production Equipment, Moulding Machines and Automation, as well as consistent digitalization in all areas.

The management, advisory board and shareholders are proud of what has been achieved and would like to thank all employees in the holding company and in the business units - in other words, all Kurtz Ersa employees worldwide - who have accompanied Kurtz Ersa on this path and whose joint success is the Kurtz Ersa company today. To the next 25 years a traditional GLÜCK AUF!
