Systematic stability and heritage going back over 60 years

A medium-sized family concern with a grasp of the future

As a medium-sized family concern, Dr. Haubitz GmbH & Co. KG can look back over a steady, successful development in its growth over more than 60 years. After the company was founded in 1956 by Dr. Joachim Haubitz, it was Werner Schirmer and, later, also Hans Schultes, that have guided the enterprise through latter years as managing shareholders. Today, over 240 employees work in a space covering around 14,000 m².
