Perschmann Group joins the Maschinenraum innovation ecosystem

Braunschweig / Berlin

The Perschmann Group becomes part of Maschinenraum. As a strategic partner of the Hoffmann Group - Europe's market leader for quality tools - Perschmann is on the one hand a tool specialist and on the other hand a leader in Germany in the segment of measuring and test equipment calibration. With smartblick, Perschmann is also on its way into the German and Polish markets in the field of sustainable digitalization solutions for manufacturing.

The alliance (Maschinenraum) of around 60 SMEs as well as university partners and other innovators is working together on the digital transformation of German Mittelstand. Perschmann wants to use the exchange with other members of the Maschinenraum to share ideas on how to deal with current and future challenges - including the topics of digitalization and new leadership.

Perschmann was founded in 1866 as a tool and hardware store, and today the company is managed by the fifth generation, Justus Perschmann. In total, the group employs around 500 people in Braunschweig, Berlin and Poznan. 

Partnership and cooperation as part of the corporate DNA

"We are in a constant process of change and are concerned with the question of what we can do today to be better tomorrow. Because standing still is not an option - whether it's on the subject of product development or satisfied employees. And of course we are not alone in this. We are therefore all the more looking forward to the exchange at eye level with the many Maschinenraum members - cooperating with others is deeply rooted in our DNA," says Justus Perschmann, Managing Director of the Perschmann Group. 

"We are very pleased to welcome the Perschmann Group as a member of Maschinenraum. Now, together with all other members, we are tackling our common mission: Shaping the next generation of SMEs by learning from each other," says Tobias Rappers, Managing Director of Maschinenraum.
