As a cosmopolitan citizen of Hamburg, Horst F. G. Angermann did not limit his activities to the domestic market. He always saw internationalism as an opportunity. On his frequent travels, he enjoyed being inspired by new business ideas and making numerous new contacts.

Foundation of “AWM - Aktionsgemeinschaft wirtschaftlicher Mittelstand e.V.” by Horst F. G. Angermann (4th from left).

When the Federal SPD resolved to ban the profession of estate agent at a party conference in 1973, the Aktionsgemeinschaft wirtschaftlicher Mittelstand e.V. [Economic mid-size sector action group] was founded. As a mouthpiece for medium-sized companies in the service industry, the AWM played a large part in increasing the influence of medium-sized companies. The above-mentioned SPD resolution was revoked after only two years. Until 1990, Angermann served as AWM president and obtained the reputation of a hard, but very human interlocutor and negotiating partner.

Our employees identify strongly with the company. Many have been working for Angermann for several decades, in some cases in different positions and in different business units. They give the company its face and make an essential contribution to the company’s success with their efforts and commitment. Angermann is traditionally a training enterprise. We challenge and encourage our employees and offer them the possibility of taking a career path at Angermann which suits their talent and their ambitions. Our mid-sized corporate culture is based on flat hierarchies and short decision-making paths.

Thanks to strategic agenda-setting in the past, Angermann is now diversified and resilient to crises. A total of ten companies with 180 employees are now united under the umbrella of the holding company. The resulting combination of M&A, management consultancy, real estate services and the sale of machinery and equipment is unique in Germany. The product range is supplemented by the associated company Nord Leasing, which is active in the business area of asset-based financing.
