We as the Owners feel and act as Co-Entrepreneurs

Family company and Entrepreneurial family

“In our family charter it´s deeply rooted how we understand ourselves as an entrepreneurial family and how we look at our family business: we are co-entrepreneurs, and our common goal is the profitable continuation, as well as the attractive further development and value enhancement of our family business. We do this with a lot of heart and soul, with representatives of the second, third and fourth generation of owners.

We are a family business with continuity!"

New era in management


From its foundation in 1949 until the beginning of 2023, our company was run by three generations of family owner CEOs.

Josef Weber (1949 – 1971)

Artur Zipp (1962 – 2000)

We have successfully completed the CEO generation change according to our long term planning. Thus since February 2023 our CEO Andreas Becker runs the WEBER Group as a professional, highly experienced external Top Manager, and he is encouraged by our entrepreneurial family.
