Family matters
==============

Thinking across generations.

Constant change is what has made WITTENSTEIN successful. We foster a dynamic environment where diverse perspectives come together and innovations take shape. As active partners, we think far ahead, provide direction, spark new ideas, and continuously develop ourselves and our company.

> What might prove to be decisive in the future? What trends are emerging? Regardless of which generation of the entrepreneurial family we belong to, we view the world with unceasing curiosity.

Dr. Manfred Wittenstein

In 2022, we had our logo cast in stainless steel—a visible symbol of our company’s DNA. This was accompanied by an intensive reflection: What makes WITTENSTEIN shine? During discussions between the founding family, the Supervisory Board, and the Executive Board, the focus is always on preserving and strengthening WITTENSTEIN’s long-term appeal.

We think and act beyond the boundaries of our company through local initiatives, such as those in the Main-Tauber STEM region, and through programs that support young talent. Examples include the “Young Creative Minds” student invention competition and the Wittenstein Scholarship. We also promote cutting-edge research in fields of the future. We are also actively involved in associations and organizations such as the VDMA and the Fraunhofer Society, as well as partnerships with universities and colleges. Through these efforts, we aim to foster a healthy environment in which we can all grow and thrive.

The Wittenstein Foundation is the cornerstone of our social commitment and is supported by the entire family of entrepreneurs. Through events, research projects, and funding programs, the foundation promotes a sustainable society and explores the connections between people, technology, nature, and society.
