The Funk Family Business – Close to Our Clients for Five Generations
Our family business is defined by a strong corporate culture and a successful company history. Now in its fifth generation, we remain committed to the consistency of our values and long-term thinking. In our effort to preserve and further develop Funk as a family-owned enterprise, we place great importance on our enduring values and a strong corporate culture. We make our decisions with continuity in mind, guided by long-term strategies and a deep sense of responsibility toward our employees and clients. It is this mindset—along with our reliability and our partnerships with clients—that has earned us our position as Germany’s largest owner-managed insurance broker and risk consultant.
Strategic Success Through Tradition and Innovation
The success story of Funk is closely linked to the integrity and entrepreneurial spirit of its owners. Our goal is to preserve and further develop Funk as a family-owned enterprise. We offer dedicated family members the opportunity to shape Funk’s future as managing directors or shareholders. At the same time, we open our management to outstanding individuals outside the family who make exceptional contributions. Organic growth and long-term strategies are key elements of our corporate development.
