The story of Möhlenhoff
One thing our story shows is that a small idea can gather momentum in a way nobody involved at the beginning could have predicted.
As a result, a small electrical products business in Salzgitter-Salder became a world market leader.
Modern by tradition
Today, Möhlenhoff stands for innovative and practical products that have established themselves in the heating and control technology market worldwide. To meet new challenges, research and development has, and will always, take top priority.
And it all started with one single remark:
"I want to perform, I want to create."
Hellmuth Möhlenhoff, Company founder
Andreas Möhlenhoff
Following the death of his father, Andreas Möhlenhoff applied his entrepreneurial vision and put his heart and soul into turning the small business into an industrial global player.
Today, as in the past, our workforce’s goal is to live up to the mission and goal declared by the former shareholder and CEO each and every day:
"Future through ideas."
Andreas Möhlenhoff, Managing Partner (1990-2011)
