A new generation at the helm

Andreas Möhlenhoff

Following the death of his father, Andreas Möhlenhoff applied his entrepreneurial vision and put his heart and soul into turning the small business into an industrial global player.

Today, as in the past, our workforce’s goal is to live up to the mission and goal declared by the former shareholder and CEO each and every day:

The story of Möhlenhoff

One thing our story shows is that a small idea can gather momentum in a way nobody involved at the beginning could have predicted.
As a result, a small electrical products business in Salzgitter-Salder became a world market leader.
