ABRAMS GROUP FOUNDER AND CEO - DR. JUERGEN ABRAMS

At just 5 years old and the proud owner of his first bike, Jürgen had his first flat tire. He asked his father if he would fix the tire, but his father refused and told him, "No, you have to do it yourself."

While he didn’t get the help he was hoping for, his father taught him the value of hard work, independence, and doing things by hand. This lesson propelled him into his career of manufacturing.

Throughout his teenage years, he began to tinker. He learned how to tune engines, repair gearboxes, and paint cars. Early in his career, Jürgen went on to work for world-class engineering companies like the SCHOELLER Group (specialty paper) and PORSCHE (R&D-center for sports cars), shaping his experience in the manufacturing industry.

His university studies leveraged his passion for building, with degrees in industrial engineering, management, and business information systems. His experience provided him with the well-rounded knowledge he used to found ABRAMS Industries.

Even when starting a company in the face of more than 60 competitors, he had a market-moving vision; at the time no supplier cared about the real technical and commercial needs of the customer, and that's exactly what ABRAMS Industries was built to change.
