Owner and Managing Director, metalworking and machinery business (~55 employees) · Ybbsitz near Waidhofen an der Ybbs, Lower Austria
Alois Grubmüller, 66, runs a metalworking and machinery firm with around 55 employees in the Ybbstal valley and seeks a successor through a guided sale, since his children chose other paths. A second farmer's son turned founder, sure-handed at the machine, wary of anything abstract. What counts for him is not the highest price, but that the workshop, site and workforce outlast him.

The thinking patterns behind the judgments
Values, fears, and motivations
Values
- Reliability
- Groundedness
- Responsibility
Fears
- That a prospective buyer will ‚consolidate‘ the production ‚over the medium term‘ and move it abroad — leaving the people he mostly trained himself out on the street.
- That a good skilled worker who has been with him for fifteen years hands in his notice and moves to a bigger firm in the next valley over.
Motivations
- That on the twenty-fourth the wages are paid out on time and the books are right, as they have been for decades.
- Being able to show his grandson Fabian the big workshop in the summer — and that it is still his then.
- Getting, in the end, an honest thank-you for the good years from people he trained thirty years ago.
