Story
The 1946 by Dipl.-Ing. The company founded by Walter Hitzinger quickly developed from the repair of destroyed electric and combustion engines to an important electrical engineering company.
As early as 1955, the first three-phase synchronous generator of our own design was brought onto the market. Walter Hitzinger understood like no other of his time the importance of a motivated workforce and established a solid basis for cooperation with social benefits, which led to employee participation in the company, the establishment of a spacious apprentice workshop and management by employees.
VISIONARY AND ORGANIZATIONAL TALENT
At the same time, he was a pioneer and visionary, a purposeful organizer and a virtuoso of building work in other companies as well. As General Director of VÖEST, he made it a flagship company with high social benefits while increasing productivity at the same time. As Chairman of the Board of Management of Daimler-Benz AG, he significantly expanded Mercedes’s market participation in the mid-range segment.
Together with his “colleague” Dipl. Ing. Hans Schäcke, managing partner from the very beginning, Walter Hitzinger ensured the institutionalized link between visionary innovation and sustainable corporate development based on the greatest resource, the employees. The focus on tailor-made solutions soon resulted in a large number of long-term customer relationships.
