Gernot Egretzberger in an interview for DER SPIEGEL

"How do medium-sized companies assert themselves in a world of increasing uncertainty?" – This central question is addressed by Gernot Egretzberger, Managing Director of J.N. Eberle & Cie. GmbH, in an interview with SPIEGEL editor Kathrin Werner (published in DER SPIEGEL No. 12, March 13, 2026).

Geopolitical tensions, rising energy prices, and volatile supply chains have long been part of the daily routine for many industrial companies, explains Egretzberger. International markets now demand more flexibility than ever – both in production and in strategic planning.

Medium-sized companies, in particular, demonstrate their strength here: The crucial factors are the ability to react quickly to changes, continuously monitor markets, and develop sustainable solutions together with customers.

This adaptability has been firmly embedded in Eberle's DNA for many years – and will continue to form the basis for successful operations in a demanding global environment.
