Management at Enke
Reliable leadership with integrity
Enke has been an owner-managed company with a clear direction for over 100 years. The management team embodies technical expertise, corporate responsibility and a spirit of collaboration based on trust.
Here, we don’t just manage – we shape the future. Decisions are made with a focus on practical application, the people within the company and the demands of the market. Approachable, committed and forward-looking.
Enke as a family business
Since its foundation in 1924, Enke has been an independent family-run business based in Düsseldorf. What began as a roof coating business has, over the decades, developed into a leading supplier of liquid polymer systems for roof, balcony and building waterproofing, as well as adhesive and coating solutions for the professional sector.
Today, the third generation runs the company with a commitment to combining long-standing values with today’s requirements. A long-term perspective, reliability and a sense of responsibility characterise development, sales, production and collaboration with customers and partners.
The next generation is already involved too. In this way, Enke remains true to what has always set the company apart: family-run, practical and reliable.
Taking responsibility
Attitude rather than hierarchy
At Enke, leadership means providing guidance, ensuring decisions are transparent and building trust. The focus is on clear communication, technical expertise and a sound understanding of the realities on the construction site.
Rather than rigid hierarchies, collaboration is characterised by closeness, honesty and a solution-oriented approach. Decisions are made through dialogue with staff, clients and partners.
Those who take responsibility lead the way. At the same time, there is scope for people to get involved, contribute their ideas and develop solutions together.
Decisive and technically astute
Whether it’s product development, application engineering, customer service or sales: the management team is closely involved with the areas that define Enke. Personal dialogue with contractors, planners and partners is just as much a part of this as keeping an eye on the market, quality and future viability.
This close connection to practical reality is a key part of our management philosophy. After all, only those who understand how work is carried out on a building site can develop systems that function reliably in everyday use.
Technical expertise, entrepreneurial vision and a keen understanding of market requirements go hand in hand at Enke.
