About Possehl Digital

What distinguishes Possehl Digital?

Possehl Digital is one of ten independent business divisions of the Possehl Group, supported by full membership in the Possehl Foundation as a 100-percent shareholder. This structure grants us operational freedom, allowing us to make investments without the pressure of exit strategies and hockey-stick growth expectations, and to forge strategic partnerships aimed at advancing digital transformation within the group and in the industrial mid-sized sector.

We rely on entrepreneurial skills and invite co-owners to actively participate in our vision. The development of our investments is driven by strategic advantages such as references, customer access, and shared services. At the heart of our success is the "Digital Ecosystem Possehl," which not only provides transparency regarding potential and needs but also crucial access to key decision-makers and existing services. This significantly contributes to the future viability of our group and the broader industrial mid-sized sector.

Our vision

We enable the industrial mid-sized sector to strengthen its future viability sustainably by providing networking and access to relevant innovative digital technologies.

Our mission

We recognize and understand the specific challenges faced by our mid-sized group and respond by seeking suitable digital investments to accelerate transformation in a value-oriented manner within the group and the industrial mid-sized sector through innovative digital technologies.
