What does Fronius mean to you?

Otto Schuster:

• A family business
• motivation
• growth
• the people
• the challenge
• innovation
• modern, yet never forgets its roots

Could you give a few words on each individual division?

Otto Schuster:

Battery charging systems:
Targeting the correct market segment is very important for the future. It is also the oldest Fronius division and we will expand its international presence in the coming years. There is still massive potential for growth within the market.

Solar technology:
Fronius and solar technology has been a winning combination for some time now. This division operates within a relatively fast-paced and constantly changing market.

Welding technology:
The next objective is to clearly position ourselves in the huge American market while not forgetting our loyal European customers.

Where do you see Fronius in ten years’ time?

Otto Schuster:
I see Fronius in ten years’ time as being a company that employs many thousands of people. I anticipate that Fronius will be a recognised global player.
