50 Years of Passion for Technology
The year 1966 witnessed it all: The Beatles coming together for the last time, the “Wembley goal” during the World Cup Final, and the premiere of Star Trek. And in Troisdorf (Germany), Hans-Josef Kitz was laying the foundation of his own mechanical engineering company. “’Passion for technology’ had been his motive,” recalls his son Stephan Kitz, managing director of that company today: mk Technology Group. He went on to further describe his father as an “extremely creative and talented designer.” Products made in Germany are unsurpassed in their reputation for their high technical quality; Hans Kitz also shared this passion.
