The generational change is now complete at Karwendel: On March 1, Dr. Wilfried Huber will finally hand over the baton to Viktor Lindner, management spokesman and representative of the fourth generation of the family business. With this decision, Dr. Huber, previously Managing Partner of Karwendel-Werke Huber GmbH & Co KG, is stepping down from operational management, but will remain closely associated with the company as a shareholder. Since joining the company in 1987, Dr. Wilfried Huber has played a key role in the development of Karwendel. Under his leadership, the Exquisa and miree brands have been consistently developed, new markets opened up and a successful plant-based product line established with NOA. During this time, Karwendel has developed into one of the leading suppliers of cream cheese and quark specialties.
"A family business thrives on passing on responsibility in good time," says Dr. Wilfried Huber. "I am delighted to be handing over the operational management of Karwendel into good hands. My son-in-law Viktor Lindner has prepared himself intensively for this task over the past few years. Together with my daughter Isabel Bartels, he will shape the future of our company. I would especially like to thank all my colleagues with whom I have had the pleasure of working over the past few years. Together, we have established Karwendel in a challenging market and successfully positioned it for the future."
With Viktor Lindner, the fourth generation of the family is now at the helm of Karwendel. He has been a member of the management board since 2023, responsible for quality management, product development and packaging, and has been the spokesperson for the board since 2024. "Karwendel stands for quality, reliability and innovation," says Lindner. "Our task is to further strengthen the company structurally, align it sustainably and develop our brands strategically - with the clear aim of remaining independent and future-proof, even in the fourth generation."
Another family member, Isabel Bartels, the 32-year-old daughter of Dr. Wilfried Huber and sister-in-law of Viktor Lindner, has been working at Karwendel since October 2025. She is currently gaining valuable experience as a management consultant and getting to know the company. Isabel Bartels has a Master's degree in Accounting, Financial Management and Control and previously worked in quality management at a Munich start-up.
