Haimer GmbH is expanding its top management and setting the course for the future: Kathrin Haimer, the daughter of company founders Claudia and Franz Haimer, has been appointed to Managing Director as of July 1st, 2024.
At the beginning of 2014, Haimer GmbH expanded its top management with Andreas Haimer, the second generation of the Haimer family, who is now also responsible for the entire Haimer Group as President. Kathrin Haimer, the daughter of the two company founders and managing partners Claudia and Franz Haimer, has now been appointed to Managing Director, meaning that another family member is following in her parents‘ footsteps. She will be responsible for human resources, apprenticeship & training, administration and organization. This development underlines the long-term strategy and orientation of the Haimer Group, which was founded in 1977 in Igenhausen, Bavaria, and now employs over 800 people worldwide, 500 of whom work at the headquarters in Igenhausen.
Kathrin Haimer has been with Haimer GmbH for over 15 years and has been Head of Human Resources since 2015, first as an authorized representative and then as a member of the executive board.
Kathrin Haimer is particularly proud of the motivated employees in the global HAIMER family: „I am looking forward to the new tasks and responsibilities as Managing Director in our international family business. It is good to know that we can rely on our dedicated and qualified employees all over the world, especially during these challenging times. Our employees are at the heart of our company and the foundation of our success. In the future, we will continue our investment in dual training and our apprenticeship program in order to secure our skilled workforce of tomorrow. In addition to striving for quality, as a family business we keep incorporating values such as innovation, sustainability and reliability into our corporate culture.“
