Our Story

According to Simon Zügel, entrepreneurship is “in his genes”. For the eight-year-old youngster, his parents’ firm was just a huge playground (not always to the delight of his parents. What he has become aware of from this time and from the years that followed: Enjoyment in leading and being responsible for initiating motivation and taking decisions.

For Simon Zügel it is an honour - together with his wife Katharina - to continue the tradition of the undertaking and to dedicate himself to successfully preparing the family business for current and future challenges. Milestones have again and again been set to fully attain these goals.
