The parent company of the H\u00e4fele Group has been operating as a new corporate form since 1 December 2020. H\u00e4fele Germany is now operating under the name H\u00e4fele SE & Co KG. “With the legal form of a “Societas Europaea” (SE), we are making H\u00e4fele at the Nagold location fit for the future as an internationally active family business with foresight,” says company manager Sibylle Thierer. <\/p>\n
Numerous large German family-owned companies have already implemented this change to a “European corporate form” or are planning to do so accordingly. Background: the shareholders gain more flexibility for the future management of their companies and at the same time, while retaining an additional limited partnership, create more alternatives for involving the family. <\/p>\n
H\u00e4fele is thus laying the foundation stone for the fourth generation to assume responsibility and at the same time making a commitment to future independence as a family business. “We want to remain an attractive and modern employer for our employees and international managers with lean decision-making structures for fast action in the future. With the continued existence of the partnership, we are also ensuring continuity and creating trust with our customers and suppliers,” says Sibylle Thierer. <\/p>\n
In the company’s 97-year history, Sibylle Thierer is only the fourth female managing director at the helm of H\u00e4fele and she will head H\u00e4fele SE & Co. KG as Managing Director. Sibylle Thierer attaches particular importance to the change in the company’s legal form, which will have no effect on the daily work of the employees.<\/p>\n
There have been several changes to the legal form in H\u00e4fele’s almost one hundred year history. H\u00e4fele was founded as a sole proprietorship by Adolf H\u00e4fele on December 1, 1923. In 1949, the second generation took over the company as a general partnership (OHG) with Walther Thierer at the helm. Due to its strong growth, the company was converted into a KG (limited partnership) in 1972 and 20 years later, in 1992, into a GmbH & Co KG. Sibylle Thierer has been managing the company in the third generation since 2004.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":2264,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[206],"class_list":["post-2263","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-haefele"],"acf":{"photo_gallery":{"galerie":[[]]}},"yoast_head":"\n
