OUR PHILOSOPHY

MICON Holding AG is an internationally operating group of companies that has been established for the purpose of continuous asset development and combines various industrial business fields with a focus on the automotive sector.

The corporate philosophy of the group, which was founded in 2010 by the Chairman of the Board of Directors Christoph Militzer, draws on the 65 years of experience gained by the Militzer family of entrepreneurs in the automotive industry. The guiding principle «Best ideas for your business» is at once our claim and our objective: it is based on the conviction that employees, customers and suppliers can together achieve every goal that is set.

MICON Holding AG distinctly concentrates its investments on technology and product development, in particular on the field of automotive drive systems. The strategic focus lies on the identification of national small and medium-sized Hidden Champions – from the development service provider over the component specialist to the high-volume producer – and their internationalization.

In the process, the core business suffers no dilution and every company always maintains its independence, autonomy and identity. The company strategy is developed in close collaboration with the management and with the active involvement of the MICON Board of Directors.

Independence, confidentiality and speedy decision-making procedures are key determinants of lasting success for the MICON management. Consequently, only capital from the circle of shareholders is used for building up the group of companies. A company acquisition is therefore carried out quickly, quietly, and always with a qualified majority.
