Vision + Mission.

Westfalen celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2023. Committed to its history, the company also has many plans for the future: As a family business, we have always thought in terms of generations - and see it as our responsibility to make a contribution to society. In this way, we help our customers to become more sustainable.

Our vision: creating the future.

We want to make the future possible. For our employees, our customers, our business partners and our company. For Europe's complete phase-out of fossil fuels, we are successfully and sustainably positioning ourselves for the future. We design sustainable mobility, productivity, heating and cooling, and ensure health and well-being.

Our mission: We make progress sustainable.

We help our customers become more sustainable, for their success, for a better planet and a better future. We are part of the climate problem and part of the solution at the same time. To us, progress and sustainability are not a contradiction, but rather they are our day-to-day business and they are what we mean when we talk about being ‘enkelfähig’. As an independent family business, we have always thought in terms of generations and assume social responsibility accordingly.

A picture that points to the future.

As future makers, we consistently align our solutions and business models to our mission "We make progress sustainable". In industrial gases and refrigerants, climate-neutral products will gain considerable importance. In the heating market, we aim to position ourselves as a leading supplier of electricity-based energy solutions. In the mobility sector, we are focusing on sustainable mobility hubs. We are establishing green hydrogen as another major growth area. We will also continue to develop our Respiratory Homecare medical business so that we can make an even greater contribution to improving people's quality of life.

Dr. Thomas Perkmann, CEO of the Westfalen Group, on Vision 2030:

"Climate change is the greatest challenge of our generation. We have to change, for sustainability and climate reasons, but also for economic reasons. In seven years, hydrogen is a growth driver for our company, we are successful with mobile and stationary hydrogen refueling stations and a large hydrogen fleet. We are a solution provider for electricity-based heat and offer our customers wallboxes, heat pumps and photovoltaics. In Mobility, we are focusing, among other things, on sustainable drive energies, with which we aim to make around half of our revenue."

Katharina Max-Theurer, Advisory Board Member of the Westfalen Group:

"The future is no longer an extension of the present. We should look to the future with optimism, because our opportunities to be part of the solution are great. And with the strength, courage and ideas of our employees, we will be. It is important that we act today to have a livable future despite climate change. We are creating the future together and for all of us."
