With over 26,000 products, 30,000 customers worldwide and more than 50 locations in 14 countries, the STOCKMEIER Group is one of the market leaders in Europe. Founded in 1920 in Bielefeld, the STOCKMEIER Group is managed by CEO Peter Stockmeier in the 3rd generation and offers distribution, production and services for numerous industries. In 2022, the company generated a turnover of 2.1 billion euros. Most recently, STOCKMEIER Holding GmbH changed its legal form to STOCKMEIER Holding SE (Societas Europaea). This step underlines the Group's increasing internationalisation.
The company is facing a variety of challenges that accompany its dynamic growth. Topics such as sustainability, challenges in the supply chain, IT security, recruiting and measures in the area of change management are key concerns. The STOCKMEIER Group sees its membership of the Maschinenraum network as an opportunity to exchange ideas with other family businesses, share best practices and work together to meet the challenges of the future.
"We are delighted to now be part of the engine room. The transformation challenges across all areas of the company, coupled with ever shorter innovation cycles and accelerating changes in the market, keep us all busy on a daily basis. As the STOCKMEIER Group, our aim is to learn from each other and share best practice for issues within the Group. We are therefore all the more grateful to have this exchange take place across our company boundaries, across industries and to join forces in the specialist areas." Oliver Rechtsprecher, Managing Director of the STOCKMEIER Group.
"We are delighted to welcome the Stockmeier Group to the machine room. Their great willingness to drive change together and their long-term thinking fits perfectly with our vision of a networked and future-orientated ecosystem. "Together we will capitalise on the opportunities of Industry 4.0," explains Tobias Rappers, Managing Director of Maschinenraum.
