Norbert Heßbrüggen,the former CEO and shareholder of machine tool builder Emag passed away last month at the age of 88 in his hometown of Salach. The company owes a lot to him: under Heßbrüggen’sleadership from the end of the 1960s, the small southern German machine manufacturer became a globally active group with numerous subsidiaries. He also had the pioneering idea for a multi-functional vertical turning centre that made Emag a technology leader. In addition, the successful corporate structure that is still in place today was created under Heßbrüggen’s tenure. The entire company is mourning his passing.
