Georg Hoffmann celebrates 65 birthday

On February 5, Georg Hoffmann, founder and managing director of Hoffmann Maschinen- und Apparatebau GmbH in Lengede, Germany, celebrated his 65th birthday. This will also mark his retirement from the company. After graduating from middle school in Braunschweig, Germany, G. Hoffmann, who was born in Danzig, completed an apprenticeship as a machine fitter and toolmaker in 1959 at Büssig Trucks. Completing his program of studies as an engineer in Bad Honnef, G. Hoffmann also worked as a development engineer in Switzerland up to 1970. In 1971 he then founded his own company in a literal wooden barracks in Braunschweig, and this, as he likes to emphasize, without any assistance from the government. Since then the Hoffmann company has been developing and manufacturing customized filter facilities for oils and emulsions used in grinding/machining. In 1979, it started to become cramped in Braunschweig with 10 employees and the company relocated to the Old Mathilde mine grounds in Lengede, where the company has continued to grow right up to the present. Hoffmann company was able to secure a top position in the market with a number of newly and further developed products and a business policy strongly oriented toward customer satisfaction, products which also include recirculation chilling units and oil mist extraction systems. Facilities with a value of up to EUR1 million each are shipped throughout the world for gearing, gearbox, turbine and ball bearing industrial applications. Top customers include VW, Bosch, ZF, Volvo, Rolls Royce Aerospace, Caterpillar and the INA Werke. In 1984 G. Hoffmann opened the Hoffmann Filter Corp. in Detroit, Michigan to also provide products for the American market. Today, the Hoffmann company has 150 employees in the group, with 130 of those located in Lengede and Broistedt, Germany, the site of a 5000 square meter production building as an expansion for large-scale central facilities since 2001. The group also includes the Filcon GmbH developer and component supplier in Ilsede, and Filcare Sales and Service Inc. in Savannah, Georgia. The Hoffmann family has laid the groundwork well for a change of generations at the company. Georg Hoffmann's son Tobias has been a managing partner in the company for several years now, with his brother Oliver performing the same function at Filcon.
