On 1st October 2024, Reinhold Würth, chairman of the supervisory board of the Würth Group, celebrated his 75th work anniversary during a ceremony at Carmen Würth Forum in the German town of Künzelsau.

From a hardware wholesaler with two employees to a global market leader with more than 88,000 employees, family and friends, numerous guests from the worlds of politics, business and the arts, as well as the company management, congratulated Professor Reinhold Würth on this impressive milestone. 

“I stand before you, immensely grateful, and in all modesty and humility, knowing that I would never have achieved the success we are seeing today without the hard work and the loyalty of these 88,000 people from all these different cultures, different backgrounds, with different nationalities and different religions,” outlined Professor Würth at the ceremony. 

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz also offered his congratulations: “It is thanks to entrepreneurs like Reinhold Würth that Germany has such a strong economy. His entrepreneurial courage and his tireless commitment to the company and its employees are impressive and deserve my respect and admiration.
