“Working and con­tin­u­ally exploring new avenues”, is his entre­pre­neurial motto. With tech­nical under­standing, per­se­ver­ance and cre­ativity, Harro Höfliger mas­tered a number of rather tricky chal­lenges and always had a good sense for market trends and his cus­tomers’ wishes. And he did so from the very begin­ning. As a man of action, in 1975 he quickly con­verted his garage to a work­shop and dared to take the step into self-employment.

In April, the pas­sionate entre­pre­neur and name­sake of this mag­a­zine turned 80 years old. Cer­tainly, a mile­stone birthday, but no reason for retire­ment. Harro Höfliger has long since left the day-to-day busi­ness to others, but the senior partner is still present and active in his com­pany of approx­i­mately 1,100 employees.
