Heinz Sieg, the founder of aftermarket imaging supplies manufacturer KMP, sadly passed away on 15 January, aged 80.
Born in 1942, Sieg completed commercial training and a degree in business administration after leaving school. From 1971, he worked in various positions for the German Federation of Trade Unions before becoming head of the Graf Bismarck vocational centre in Gelsenkirchen at the age of 33. Subsequently, in 1982, Sieg took over the management of the Regentrop & Bernhard production company in Wuppertal.
Six years later, he founded KMP, which today comprises eight companies throughout Europe and China. In 1999, Sieg’s son Jan-Michael joined the business and has been CEO for the past 23 years.
OPI offers its deepest condolences to Jan-Michael and the whole of the Sieg family.
