Female power and international diversity: SWR visits the Gottwalds and Sauer Systems
In December 2024, shortly before Rainer Gottwald’s big boxing event at the Karlsruhe Christmas Circus, the family received a prominent visit: a camera team from the German broadcasting station SWR accompanied Rainer and his team to gain exclusive insights not only into the world of boxing, but also into the structures and people behind Sauer Systems. The focus was on a very special force that contributes significantly to the company’s success – women’s power.
In December 2024, shortly before Rainer Gottwald’s big boxing event at the Karlsruhe Christmas Circus, the family received a prominent visit: a camera team from the German broadcasting station SWR accompanied Rainer and his team to gain exclusive insights not only into the world of boxing, but also into the structures and people behind Sauer Systems. The focus was on a very special force that contributes significantly to the company’s success – women’s power.
Women who help shape success
Rainer was joined by his wife Tik, Karin Sauer and Nicole Philipp, Head of Marketing at Sauer Systems. They represent the strong female side of the company, which is not only supportive but also plays a pioneering role in its expansion and development. The SWR report also sheds light on this important role: How do women influence the corporate strategy? How do they bring a breath of fresh air and new ideas to an industry steeped in tradition?
International influence as a success factor
Another exciting topic was the cultural diversity within the company. Sauer Systems benefits from a wealth of experience and the different working cultures from Germany, Thailand and the Philippines. While structured processes and precise planning often take centre stage in Germany, Thai and Filipino influences bring with them a high degree of adaptability and a flexible way of thinking. This synergy is a key to the company’s success and shows that diversity is not just an asset, but an essential strength.
From boxing events to company growth: a strong team
The SWR report provides exciting insights into the world of the Gottwalds, who are setting new standards not only in boxing but also in the business world with a great deal of passion and commitment. The boxing event at the Karlsruhe Christmas Circus was another highlight that Rainer planned with the same precision and professionalism as he does in his day-to-day business. Here too, teamwork – especially with the strong women at his side – is a recipe for success that proves its worth time and time again.
Vision for the future: growing together
Whether in sport or in business – team spirit counts at the Gottwalds and Sauer Systems. The SWR report shows how important it is to empower women in leadership roles and to utilise cultural diversity as a driving force for innovation and growth. The story behind the success is not only inspiring, but proof that companies that focus on diversity experience sustainable success.
Full speed ahead – Sauer Systems and the Gottwalds show that strong women and intercultural co-operation are the key to the future!
