Winnenden - Flanked by American General Gordon R Sullivan and KÄRCHER Futuretech managing director Helmut Stelzmüller, the French Minister of Defence, Hervé Morin, visited the German pavilion at Eurosatory 2008. Morin, who also owns a KÄRCHER high-pressure cleaner, and assumed that KÄRCHER was a French group of companies, learned about the Kärcher success story through his 'Attaché', Helmut Stelzmüller, in person. The German-French friendship was not just confirmed, but also underlined, by the Defence Minister making an entry in the German pavilion's Golden Book.
