Connecting the All Electric Society – Philip Harting celebrates his 50th birthday
Philip Harting, CEO since 2015, is driving the company forward in the age of connected industry with a focus on digitalisation and sustainability and the development of innovative connectivity solutions. Under his leadership, the company reached the turnover mark of over one billion euros in the last financial year. In doing so, he is not only setting new trends and continuing the successful course of his father Dietmar, but is also continuing his father's social commitment in numerous committees of the ZVEI, AUMA, Deutsche Messe and VDE.
"Birthdays are like connectors – they connect the past and the future," as Philip Harting commented with a smile. "We look back on the past with gratitude and pride and are excited to face the challenges of the future."
Philip Harting celebrates his 50th birthday.
For the Technology Group with around 6,000 employees, he sees opportunities above all in the ongoing digitalisation, electrification and decarbonisation of society and industry. “Our products and solutions connect the All Electric Society with the lifelines of electricity and data,” says Philip Harting.
The HARTING Technology Group supplies numerous industrial sectors with its connectivity solutions. From industrial automation to e-mobility – HARTING connects the world.
However, Philip Harting is concerned about the difficult economic policy conditions in Germany and Europe. Excessive bureaucracy, a lack of investment incentives and planning certainty are weakening German industry and he is therefore calling for a clear change of course in German economic policy.
