Würth exposes AfD myth: loss of sales remains minimal!

The entrepreneur Reinhold Würth has often emphasized in recent months that he clearly positions himself against the AfD. This attitude made him headlines and contributed to intensive discussions. In a recent interview, the billionaire explained how his political statements had affected the Würth Group.

The Würth Group based in Künzelsau is known as the world's largest manufacturer of fastening technology and supplies a variety of customers from different social classes. Due to the clear statement of Würth towards the AfD, which partially represents right -wing extremist positions, there was speculation about possible sales declines in the company. However, the entrepreneur himself described the claims about sensitive losses as "nonsense" and again pointed out that the loss of sales was minimal.

little influence on sales

Würth said that there was only a total decline in sales of 1.5 million euros, which is hardly significant in the context of its total turnover of over 20 billion euros. "They can hardly put it in per thousand," he emphasized, describing the losses as "petitesse", which means as much as an insignificant little thing. This shows that despite his clear political attitude, the foundations of his company are not seriously at risk.

his decision to speak out against the AfD has also caused a sensation in public. The entrepreneur was even exposed to a shit storm on the short message service X (formerly Twitter), but could not be retained. He emphasized that their sales are ultimately determined by the success and quality of their products and not through political opinions.

Despite the tense economic situation, the Würth Group remains a stable employer. A stopping stop currently applies to avoid an over -occupation. Würth hopes that natural fluctuation can reduce the number of employees without layoffs. "I cannot hand in a job guarantee here," said Würth, who promises to do everything to avoid unpleasant layoffs.
