Gernot Egretzberger in the SPIEGEL Interview

“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 a conversation 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 everyday life for many industrial companies, explains Egretzberger. International markets today require more flexibility than ever – both in production and in strategic planning.

Medium-sized companies in particular demonstrate their strength here: the key is the ability to respond 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 action in a demanding global environment.
