It all started in 1911 when the company’s founder, Wilhelm Binder, barely twenty years old, had<br />
a vision: to create his own company, Binder und Mook Werkzeuge GmbH in Villingen, Germany.<br />
In 1938, his son, Dr. Wilhelm Binder Jr, joined the company and in 1953, after his father’s death,<br />
he took over management of the company. Dr. Wilhelm Binder has had no problems filling his<br />
father’s shoes. The company has thrived under his leadership, expanding its operations and<br />
initiating new research and development, and acquiring more than 40 patents. In 2011, under the<br />
banner ‘100 years of electromagnetism’, <strong>Kendrion</strong> celebrated its origin.<br />
A portrait of Dr. Wilhelm Binder features on the cover of this Annual Report.
