HOERBIGER 1989 to 2006
The path to becoming a Group
The company was restructured after Martina Hörbiger’s death. All activities were combined in a holding company under the majority control of the HOERBIGER Foundation, Basel which was established by Martina Hörbiger before she died.
The HOERBIGER Foundation regards its task as maintaining the independence of the company and supporting its continued development - ensured economically by profitable growth. Sustainability and safeguarding the future in balance with social responsibility for the company’s employees symbolize the HOERBIGER guiding principle.
The business of the HOERBIGER companies is gradually being restructured. One milestone in this process was the combination of business activities in three Strategic Business Units: Compression Technology, Automation Technology and Drive Technology.
In 1997, HOERBIGER Holding AG was founded in Switzerland as the operative holding company. Since then it has defined the long-term strategic position. The three Strategic Business Units enjoy a high degree of autonomy in operative business which results in the flexibility required for the market.
Throughout all the changes, HOERBIGER has retained its family business character which is represented by the corporate values Courage and Pioneering Spirit, Fairness and Closeness.
