Trützschler was heart and soul a businessman, according to business associates. Together with his cousin, Hermann Trützschler, he re-established the Trützschler company in Mönchengladbach after the war in 1948. In the following years the organization developed under his leadership into a group of companies that were active internationally in the textile machinery construction sector.
With exceptional energy and passionate commitment, Trützschler played a large part in the successful molding and shaping of the business.
He also used his creative powers to further the advance of the company both at home and abroad, colleagues said. Through his confident approach he pushed forward the development and implementation of the corporate policy of its group of companies, they added.
He was also heavily involved outside his own enterprise, e.g. in the Chamber of Industry and Commerce and in the VDMA (German Engineering Federation).
However, his major concern remained his employees. He consistently devoted his attention to their concerns with a deep sense of responsibility, according to company officials.
Hans Trützschler had great charisma, his fellow employees added. He was a dynamic and committed person whose warm humanity was valued by all business partners and employees, they noted.
The partners, executive board and work force of the Trützschler company are grateful for the contributions of Trützschler and will continue to guide the company along the path he set, they said.
