~The Böllhoff Group enjoyed a healthy development in its 141st financial year. The company celebrated its 140th birthday on January 6, 2017. Böllhoff now operates on all five continents in 24 countries and at 40 locations with 3,000 employees.

With a new sales record, the financial year 2017 was a highlight in the company’s history. Once again, the family-owned company with headquarters in Bielefeld has grown strongly. Sales rose by 8 percent to 620 million euros.

“We have used the healthy economy to expand our activities in the relevant markets in Europe, Asia and North and South America,” says Michael W. Böllhoff. “Through innovations for new applications and investments in more capacities and more efficient processes, we were able to achieve disproportionate growth,” adds Wilhelm A. Böllhoff.

In the Archimedesstraße in Bielefeld, there are now 1,100 people employed and 1,375 in the whole of Germany. Böllhoff consistently relies on training its own junior staff. 60 young people are trained each year for commercial, technical and logistical tasks in 17 different professions and five dual study programmes. This ensures that the company’s growth can be mostly achieved with its own junior employees.
