In her personal eulogy to Jürgen Blickle, Dr. Hoffmeister-Kraut expressed her appreciation for his entrepreneurial ability to make the family business SEW-EURODRIVE into the world market leader in drive and automation technology in the third generation.
“You, Mr. Blickle, have always placed a particular emphasis on social commitment,” Dr. Hoffmeister-Kraut continued, acknowledging the material and financial contributions that have been made repeatedly under his responsibility to local associations, social and charitable organizations and educational institutions: “They include projects such as the Caritas association’s lunch service for people in need, as well as financial support for the Bruchsal Civic Foundation and the new fire department building in the town of Bruchsal.”
