At the age of 96 and after over half-a-century as managing director of Mayr Antriebstechnik, Fritz Mayr died on 18 January. The family company is mourning its senior director.

Fritz Mayr was born on 3 April 1926. After returning from Russian captivity (1947), he began studying to become a mechanical engineer in 1948 at the Technical University in Munich. He completed his degree in 1952. After initially working as a young engineer at the Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik (WMF), he entered the family company in Kaufbeuren in the third generation.

According to a press release of the company, the most important part of the company philosophy for Fritz Mayr was stability. This was also evident in the foundation of the holding company "Mayr Familien KG" in 2015. With this step, Ferdinand Mayr, the grandson of Fritz Mayr, took over the company and finally entered the executive management in 2018. In 2022, Ferdinand Mayr assumed the role of CEO from Günther Klingler, who retired.
