Katharina Lehmann is owner and president of the Lehman Group to which the companies Blumer-Lehmann AG, Lehmann Holzwerk AG and BL Silobau AG belong. Responsible for the strategic development of the companies, she already leads the Group in the fifth generation.
As a 24-year-old, while still studying business administration at the University of St. Gallen, she took over the family business, because at that time her father had to step short for health reasons. At the beginning she simply wanted to ensure the business would continue. Later on, she really liked her work and although entering the parental business was not part of her life plans, she decided to develop the great potential of the Lehmann Group. Katharina Lehmann has never regretted her decision. As an ambassador of the fascinating world of wood, especially for the extraordinary Free Form timber construction buildings, she has already travelled around the world. For 23 years now, she has now been at the head of the Lehmann Group, which under her leadership has greatly expanded its workforce, sales and business activities.
