FROM THE SECOND TO THE THIRD GENERATION

Christian Gerhardt joined our family business on September 1st. As the son of Ralf Gerhardt, he represents the third generation of the founding family to take on responsibility for our company, which was established in 1969.

"I’ve known these factory halls since I was little; now, having completed my business studies, I’m here not just as a visitor for the first time, but as part of the team. That is exactly what I wanted."

We are delighted to have Christian with us on this journey and to shape the future of Gerhardt Automaten together.

The option to choose between fresh milk and the vegan alternative, oat milk, has been very well received.

FILM STAR GERHARDT OCX

Our popular OCX recently made its first film appearance in the hit ARD series „Die Bestatterin.“ We were happy to lend the machine for a day of filming. It handled its role with its usual poise as it brewed a fresh cup of ground coffee for the detective at the police station.
