Claudia and Franz Haimer, who founded the company in 1977 and built it up over the past decades to a hidden champion and global player, will remain operationally active in the management team until December 31, 2027. During this period, they will oversee the handover process to ensure a smooth and carefully prepared transition to the second generation. In addition, they will continue to support the company in the long term with their experience and network as members of a newly established Advisory Board.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cFor us, this step is a very emotional moment as we place our life\u2019s work in the hands of our children. At the same time, the handover is an important milestone in the development of our family business,\u201d explains Claudia Haimer. \u201cAndreas and Kathrin are closely connected to HAIMER for many years and have already successfully assumed responsibility in the management team. This ensures the continuity of our values, our technological expertise and our long-term strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
By transferring the shares to Andreas and Kathrin Haimer, HAIMER strengthens its position as an independent, owner-managed family business that offers its customers the \u201cTool Room of the Future\u201d as a holistic tool room concept providing greater efficiency, digitization and automation.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With this approach, HAIMER addresses the challenges faced by manufacturing companies which are increasingly under cost pressure while confronted with a shortage of skilled workers as well as the need to digitize and automate. HAIMER enables customers worldwide to machine more precisely, reliably and productively.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With HAIMER solutions, the shop floor can be digitized, and the tool assembly area can be automated. The generational change is therefore also a clear commitment to further strengthening this system expertise which is in line with the company philosophy of \u201cQuality Wins\u201d.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Despite rapidly changing and turbulent times in the metal working industry, this hidden champion remains 100% in German family ownership. This allows customers, partners and employees to continue to rely on long-term, sustainable decision-making.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Andreas Haimer adds that from a technological and strategic perspective: \u201cWe are a manufacturing company ourselves, with more than 200 machine tools and an annual metal-cutting volume of around 5,000 tons so we know from our own experience just how crucial stable, productive processes and well-thought-out tool management are. That is precisely why we are consistently investing in digitization and automation: from AI-capable shrink fit, balancing and presetting machines through our \u201cTool Room of the Future\u2019 concept to global cooperation with machine tool builders where our networked solutions are deployed in their plants worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With these solutions, companies that want and need to prepare for the future can turn a previously unorganized tool assembly as a black box into a transparent, data-driven tool setup and presetting process, enabling production to run 24\/7 at the highest levels of automation.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
