As an internationally successful family enterprise, the Vorwerk Group is a household name to millions of people around the globe. Under the leadership of its owners, the Mittelsten Scheid family, Vorwerk has gradually grown into a global corporate group over the more than 130 years it has been in business. Today, former Managing Partner Dr. Jörg Mittelsten Scheid is Honorary Chairman of the Supervisory Board. A total of 20 members of the Mittelsten Scheid family are connected to the Vorwerk enterprise as shareholders. They all fully support the company’s sustainability policy, and this is perhaps the true secret of the success of this family enterprise.
