a life for Vollmer

Sieglinde Vollmer, who was born on November 30, 1924, has been connected to the company that her father Heinrich Vollmer had founded 15 years earlier. Her career began export in 1961, and in 1964 she took over the management together with her brother. To date, the vigorous hundred -year -old is active, as a member of the supervisory board and curator of her own foundation, which supports non -profit organizations in Biberach.
