Jungheinrich unter Druck: Die Geschichte hinter der aktuellen Krise

The Jungheinrich company is currently facing criticism: plant closures, job cuts, and reports of conflicts between the owning families are fueling discussions. But to understand the current developments, it's worth taking a look at the company's history. This documentary tells the story of Jungheinrich – from its beginnings in the 19th century, through its founding by Friedrich Jungheinrich in the 1950s, to the international intralogistics group it is today. It explores technological innovations, strategic decisions, and the role of a family business across several generations. How did Jungheinrich achieve its success? What conflicts shaped the company's history? And what developments might explain why the company is under pressure today? A company history about technology, entrepreneurship – and the long-term implications behind current business news. Kirsten Bialdiga 2026 Conflict in the Ant Kingdom.
