Doppstadt Familienholding becomes LIG GmbH

Ferdinand Doppstadt has reorganized his group of companies at the beginning of December 2019: Under the umbrella of the newly established “Langenberger Innovation Group” (LIG GmbH), the shareholder has reorganized his holdings by renaming Doppstadt Familienholding GmbH to LIG at the same time. LIG is still fully owned by Ferdinand Doppstadt and has its registered headquarters close to the Langenberg district of Velbert, where the founding family Doppstadt has lived for decades. 

More independence for the brands and companies

LIG combines all capabilities and areas of expertise of the group companies with a clear focus on conserving resources. The clearly defined objectives of the new organization are to be “Best in Class” in its industry and to further expand through acquisitions.
