Julian Kohl has been involved in the deal from the start, and for the past few years has also served as Deal Captain:
“It was particularly important to us to preserve the company’s family-oriented culture as best as possible even after founder Ralf Köhler stepped down. At the same time, we needed to further professionalize existing structures and prepare Köhler Transfer to meet the major challenges facing the business world today: the shortage of skilled workers, digitalization, and sustainability.”
"The desire to shape the future—
—is not a matter of industry.
It's a mindset."
