Family history and entrepreneurial spirit: The success story of the Spreitzer family

“The uncertain future of the Heuberger family business”

The history of the Spreitzer family business from Gosheim is marked by ups and downs. Founded 50 years ago by Karl Spreitzer, the company has established itself in the vehicle and energy industry over the years. But current developments on the world stage are casting dark shadows over the future of the company.

“The challenges of global politics”

The decisions of "big" politics have a direct impact on the day-to-day business of companies like KSG Spreitzer. The initial support for Nord Stream II turned out to be a mistake, as the gas pipeline not only became politically controversial, but also economically disadvantageous. The uncertainty in global politics is directly reflected in the order books of the family business.

The passenger car industry, an important customer of Spreitzer, is also hesitant. Demand for both combustion engine and electric cars is declining. Only orders from the commercial vehicle sector are keeping the company afloat. These unforeseeable changes pose major challenges for Bernd Spreitzer, today's co-managing director.

"An uncertain future"

Bureaucratization and regulation by both the state and the industry itself make the situation even more difficult. Bernd Spreitzer not only has to keep an eye on the market, but also on global developments that can change everything from one moment to the next. The energy transition and decarbonization bring additional uncertainties, and deciding which technologies to rely on is another challenge.

“The roots of the Spreitzer family”

The history of the Spreitzer family goes back a long way to the German-speaking island of Gottschee in Slovenia. After relocating, they came to Austria and finally to Germany. Karl Spreitzer has carved out his place in the world through hard work and entrepreneurial courage. But the uncertain future of the family business casts a shadow over the family's tradition and history.

The history of KSG Spreitzer shows how much even an established family business is dependent on circumstances. The challenges of global politics and the economy pose major challenges for Bernd Spreitzer and his team. The future of the company remains uncertain and only time will tell how the situation develops.
