Building, selling and repairing radios - that's how you make money. The economic pioneer Max Grundig relied on this idea and opened his first radio shop at Sternstrasse 4 in Fürth on November 15, 1930. In the beginning, the business thrived on repairs that Grundig carried out himself. This laid the foundation for the later Grundig works.

A building block on the way to becoming an electronics giant after the Second World War was the legendary “Heinzelmann” radio kit. Max Grundig particularly fondly remembers this important point in the company's history. Around 50,000 pieces were sold. “An enormous number for the time,” said Grundig happily in an interview in 1954.

30 years after the "Heinzelmann", Grundig is the largest radio manufacturer in Europe: in Franconia alone, Grundig employs around 28,000 people, and across Europe there are well over 40,000. The 1980s also marked the turning point in the success story: Grundig unsuccessfully invested in the development of video systems and faced overwhelming competition from the Far East. Losses are increasing.
