The Harting family has been leading the company, with great passion for detail, since its foundation. After the death of Wilhelm Harting in 1962, Marie Harting continued to lead the company successfully and purposefully. In 1967 and 1969, the two sons Dietmar and Jürgen Harting (deceased in 1973) assumed corporate responsibility alongside their mother. In 1987, Margrit Harting joined the family business of her husband Dietmar Harting, serving today as a general partner. Philip F. W. Harting and Maresa W. M. Harting-Hertz now represent the third generation in leading positions. Since October 2015, Philip Harting has been the CEO of the HARTING Technology Group. To date, these four make the decisions for the company together.
The genesis was a desire to make people's everyday lives easier. Innovative strength, commitment and entrepreneurial vision then paved the way for the evolution to a globally successful company. Around 4,600 employees worldwide contribute daily to making sure that we do not rest on our laurels, but rather concentrate on further innovations and growth targets.
