"The establishment of global headquarters in Switzerland marks a further step for HARTING in our strategic development and internationalisation, with the aim of being positioned as globally competitive and regionally powerful. In this way, we are also meeting the global framework conditions and the requirements of our customers," states Philip Harting, CEO of the HARTING Technology Group.
HARTING has been operating in Switzerland for over 40 years. The company maintains a production site there and is already managing its global Innovation Hubs from Switzerland, among other things. "Together with Studer Cables AG (Däniken/Switzerland), which the Harting family acquired two years ago, we want to drive the development of connector and cable solutions forward and create added value for our customers," as Philip Harting, CEO of the HARTING Technology Group and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Studer Cables AG, underlined. Planning for global headquarters in Switzerland is still at an early stage.
Philip Harting is convinced that the establishment of headquarters in Switzerland will have a positive impact on the company with its approximately 6,000 employees worldwide, and that the Technology Group will continue to chart a successful course. The move is intended to secure jobs and investments in Germany, Switzerland and worldwide over the long term. At the same time, Germany, Espelkamp and the surrounding area remain a central anchor point for the Harting family. The headquarters of HARTING Stiftung & Co. KG will remain in Espelkamp. The numerous ongoing projects and initiatives in the region will be continued.
