Hegla announced that Siegfried Glaser, the company founder as well as its longstanding managing director and executive board member, passed away.
The company posted a statement on behalf of the executive board, company management, Works Council and employees of Hegla and Lewag: “[Glaser’s] drive, commitment and ingenuity played an essential role in the success of the business. Under his leadership, the original workshop business grew into a global, high-tech company.
His vision and passion for glass and window handicraft laid the long-term foundation for a successful future. He built a lasting, industry-wide reputation with his tireless work for ‘Forum Glastechnik,’ the glasstec trade fair and the VDMA, among other things.
We will always remember Siegfried Glaser with respect and thanks. We send our deepest condolences to his wife and family members.”
