AUSTRIA – Johann Felder was not only a motivating and visionary guide, but also a lifelong friend to all those who knew him and had the privilege of working with him.

In recent years Johann battled cancer without losing any of his positive charisma and courageously facing life itself. In the end, he could not win this battle.

Without his inspiration and optimism, the family business Johann leaves behind would not have been the same. He stated many times: “We must listen to the younger generation and build our Felder Group together – always be reliable”.

These thoughts will remain the motto of Hansjörg and Martin Felder, the directors of the Felder Group, and are also firmly rooted in the thinking of their grandchildren Daniel, Patrick, Tamara and Alexander Felder, the 3rd generation of the family business.

The Felder Group is one of the world’s leading mechanical engineering and technology companies in the field of wood and composite material processing.
