Heller Celebrates 120 Years
The family-owned machine tool company has been led by four generations of the Heller family.
Heller’s parent company, located in Nürtingen, Germany, is celebrating its 120-year anniversary in July. Simultaneously, the company’s Redditch, UK, and Soracaba, Brazil, branches are also celebrating 40 years as part of the company’s global production network. The family-owned business was led by Berndt Heller, great-grandson of the company’s founder, until mid-2013, when Mr. Heller became shareholder of the company and chairman of the supervisory board. His son-in-law, Christian Pfleiderer, has been active in leading the company since last year and is currently responsible for its global service business.
