With deep sorrow, we bid farewell to
Josef Köberlein
Company Founder
March 8, 1942 – April 26, 2026
Josef Köberlein founded the company Köberlein in Saal an der Saale in 1969. Over many years, he shaped the company with great personal commitment and entrepreneurial vision. With the introduction of the first step feeder in 1977, he set an important milestone in the company’s history.
He led the company with determination and in close connection with his employees. He was deeply involved in the development of his products, driven by a strong affinity for technology and genuine passion. The most successful phase in the company’s history is inseparably linked to his work.
With his passing, we lose a defining entrepreneur who played a decisive role in shaping the company over many years.
Our thoughts are with his family and all his loved ones.
