Turning 89 years old, Karl Kurz is in good health and has now handed over responsibility for the company completely to his grand-daughter Hanna Schöberl, who has been Managing Director since 2017 and has been with the company for more than ten years.

Looking back on his life and work with satisfaction, Karl Kurz says he is grateful that he has been able to give the industry so much impetus that he has navigated the company over all the years despite the ups and downs and that he now has a successor who has taken over the reins and leads the company according to his will. Together with his wife Mathilde, with whom he celebrates a Golden Wedding anniversary, he will enjoy his new-found leisure time.
