The Hagenmeyer family office: THI Investments

The family of German engineers and investors

The Hagenmeyer family is one of the wealthiest industrial families in Germany. They made their fortune through Gertrag, a manufacturer of gearboxes and gearbox components. The company was founded in 1935 by Hermann Hagenmeyer, who acquired Pfeiffer-Getriebewerke the same year. Gertrag’s customers included Porsche and BMW. By 2015, the business was thriving in Europe, North America, and Asia, employing 14,000 people and producing more than four million gearboxes a year. That same year, however, the family decided to sell the company to the Canadian-Austrian group Magna. With a sale price of €1.75 billion, they set up the Hagenmeyer Family Office THI Investments to manage the family’s assets.
