Generation change at Bluhm Systeme
Company founder Eckhard Bluhm hands over the baton to his son Volker Bluhm
Looking ahead at Bluhm: Volker Bluhm takes over the management from his father Eckhard Bluhm.
Bluhm Systeme can look back on more than 50 years of successful company history. Eckhard Bluhm laid the foundation stone back in 1968 and acquired the distribution rights for Germany from the US company Weber. In addition to the focus on direct labeling of industrial products, the expansion of label production also followed. The acquisition of Geset enabled the company to expand its expertise in mechanical engineering and labeling technology. With the acquisition of Markoprint at the turn of the millennium, Eckhard Bluhm proved once again that his actions as managing director were always geared towards the future and characterized by innovative strength.
Full-service provider for product labeling
As a full-service provider, Bluhm Systeme can now offer optimal solutions for manufacturers from all industries who want to label their products and packaging safely and reliably. "At the company headquarters in Rheinbreitbach, we not only create solutions for our customers, but also a positive working environment together with over 600 employees," says Eckhard Bluhm. "I am delighted that my son Volker is following in my footsteps and I am grateful that my legacy will now actually be carried on by the family. I am convinced that he will put his heart and soul into maintaining my life's work and leading it into the future. The handover during my lifetime will ensure a smooth transition. And I will continue to be active as second Managing Director for as long as my strength lasts."
Family business with great potential
"I have seen a lot of progress at Bluhm over the past few years. We see ourselves as a family-run and family-oriented company and have all the potential for continued successful company development," says Volker Bluhm. The new Managing Director emphasizes: "It is thanks to my father and our employees that Bluhm has grown continuously since it was founded and has been successful at all times. We are currently planning new construction measures to further expand our production. By handing over the management of the company, we are also sending a clear signal: we are looking to the future!"
