Mourning for senior partner
Company founder Franz Binder has died
Franz Binder, founder of the Neckarsulm-based connector manufacturer, passed away on May 20 at the age of 90.
Born in Neckarsulm on April 22, 1929 as the youngest of four children, Franz Binder completed his apprenticeship as a lathe operator at Kolbenschmidt in Neckarsulm in 1947. After working for the company for over ten years and successfully passing his master craftsman's examination, he started his own business on January 1, 1960.
In its early years as a workshop for mechanics and turned parts, Binder started producing circular connectors in 1968. The headquarters have been located in Rötelstraße in Neckarsulm since 1972. Since the turn of the millennium, the Binder Group has developed into an internationally active family business that now employs 1,800 people at 16 locations worldwide. Markus Binder took over the management from his father in 2014. Franz Binder passed away on May 20, 2019 at the age of 90.
Staying human
Franz Binder was not only an outstanding entrepreneur, but above all a down-to-earth and sincere person. The well-being of his fellow human beings and, above all, his employees, for whom his door was always open, was very close to his heart. He simply remained human and set standards. For Franz Binder, it was always important to maintain contact with "his people". Many of his employees and business partners will certainly remember his statement "If the company is doing well, the people should be doing well too".
Great life's work
"My family and I are incredibly saddened by this difficult loss. My father created a great life's work. Above all, I admire his courage in making decisions and never losing sight of his goals," says Markus Binder, Managing Partner of the Binder Group, commenting on the death of Franz Binder. His name will forever remain inextricably linked with our company.
