JW Froehlich is Global Mind | Global Connect 2026

JW FROEHLICH Maschinenfabrik GmbH has been selected as one of six companies to take part in the GlobalMinds initiative at GlobalConnect 2026. Organized by the Hanna Schäfer and the Steinbeis Europa Zentrum team as part of the GlobalConnect campaign, the initiative highlights companies from Baden-Württemberg that stand out through innovation, international orientation, and entrepreneurial vision.

As part of the campaign, an interview was conducted with our CEO, Daniel Ludin, who shares insights into the development of JW FROEHLICH, the challenges of industrial transformation, and the importance of innovation and internationalization for medium-sized companies. The interview focuses on adapting to new technologies, expanding into new markets, and continuously evolving the business in a rapidly changing industrial environment.

GlobalConnect 2026 will take place on 17 November 2026 at the Liederhalle in Stuttgart, bringing together representatives from business, politics, and academia to discuss current developments and future perspectives in international trade and global markets. As a GlobalMind, JW FROEHLICH contributes its experience and expertise to the dialogue on strengthening the competitiveness and future resilience of manufacturing companies.

For JW FROEHLICH, this recognition is also an acknowledgement of the company’s successful international growth and its commitment to identifying technological trends early and transforming them into sustainable business opportunities. With operations in Europe, Asia, and North America, as well as an increasing presence in new industries and markets, the company continues to actively shape industrial transformation and global innovation. 

The videos produced for the GlobalMinds campaign will be published ahead of the event, showcasing the participating companies and their perspectives on international business, innovation, and future growth.
