Erich Sennebogen has died
"The economy is not everything – but without it, almost everything is nothing." That was the credo of Erich Sennebogen, who never got tired of propagating this credo and making those in positions of responsibility really take responsibility in this way. Wherever Erich Sennebogen was, he was 100 per cent present. He measured his words and disliked prattling on, finding this to be a total waste of time. He liked to get to the heart of things. Explicitly. Unambiguously. Rousingly. And often with a pinch of subtle humour. If there was another expression that Erich Sennebogen stood for, it was "there's no such thing as can't!" Only in this way the driven mechanical engineer from Straubing was able to develop from a modest beginning into a modern global company that has become an internationally recognised term of quality for cranes and excavators. Erich Sennebogen died on Monday (March 21) at the age of 79. In him, the SEENNEBOGEN Maschinenfabrik has lost the personality who embodied the history, values and success of the Group spanning over six decades.
