“One of the trademarks of a great company is a clear understanding of its goals and of its values; an appreciation of where it has been and where it is going. We know exactly where we have to be in the future. And we have not forgotten our past. We remember the humble origins of the talented young orphan, Wilhelm Maybach.

To this end we are proud to support the descendents of Wilhelm and Karl Maybach in their ambition to provide extraordinarily talented young adults from disadvantaged circumstances the opportunity to connect and mentor with distinguished global leaders in order to make a difference in their lives and in the world. Next to Gottlieb Daimler and Carl Benz, Karl and Wilhelm Maybach take their places in the pantheon of our company’s history and of the great German engineers.”
