Who we are
We are WMH Herion Linner – a family-owned, medium-sized group of companies from Wolnzach, in the heart of the Hallertau region. Our group of companies consists of WMH Herion Antriebstechnik GmbH, Linner GmbH and Linner Elektronik GmbH.

Our Management

Katharina Linner
CEO | Managing Partner
My great joy is to recognize and develop potential. These opportunities can be found in so many things: the individual colleagues, the team, the technology, the product, the service. That's why my colleagues were the reason for me to take on the succession and to decide against the big wide world and for Wolnzach.
In the meantime, each of us three siblings has found his or her heart's discipline. Simultaneously, we've got ourselves a cool team with which we can make the best contribution to the company in the respective areas.

Ludwig Linner
Managing Partner
Together with my siblings, I am the owner and managing partner of the company group. In the second generation, we run our company with heart and soul - I love what I do and stand behind it 100%.
Values such as honesty, commitment, trust and personal responsibility are very close to my heart. A good partnership works when people treat each other as equals and with the necessary respect. That's why it's very important to me that these values are also reflected the way I work in my company.

Lorenz Linner
Geschäftsführender Gesellschafter

Andreas Pfafflinger
CTO
After more than a decade of leading WMH Herion Antriebstechnik as CEO and CTO, I am now responsible for the technical areas such as development, design, technical procurement as well as product and project management across our company group as CTO.
In order to reconcile all these disciplines, I attach great importance to honest and independent work with handshake quality. Transparency, high flexibility and strength of implementation contribute to creating a long-term cooperation at eye level.

Michael Schneider
CSO / COO
I have spent my entire career in the machining industry and can proudly claim: I am a machinist by passion!
All the impressions and various positions I have held so far have sharpened my view of the customer and ignited another passion: "delivery reliability". Fittingly, as CSO and COO, I am responsible for production and sales in our company group.

Martin Zimmermann
CFO
As Head of Finance, Controlling, Payrolling and IT, I lead a competent, dynamic team of which I can be very proud.
Working as a team is our priority - sharing our knowledge brings the whole team forward step by step. This is the only method that allows us to fulfill our role as an internal and external service provider in the best possible way. We support the management with words and deeds, as well as our colleagues. Our external contacts can also rely on us at any time.
