Beier Group honours the life and legacy of Chairman Emeritus Hans Beier

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Mr Hans Beier, Chairman Emeritus of the Beier Group, on 7 April 2022.

After joining the family business in 1962, Hans Beier worked relentlessly and with laser focus to diversify and expand it into the major industrial group it is today.

Always a firm believer in the potential of people and in giving back to the community, Mr Beier forged a legacy that will continue to live on in the thousands of lives he touched over the course of more than six decades in the Beier Group.

“One of the things I know about my father is that he would like us to remember him for the things that made him proud. He was proud to be a Christian, he was proud of the company that he built, and he was proud of his family, including his extended Beier Group family,” said Mr Beier’s son, Beier Group CEO Wolfgang Beier.

As a company, we mourn Mr Beier’s passing, but we are also dedicated to celebrating and building on his visionary legacy.
