At the head of the NIQUA Group
We do not think in quarters. We think in generations.
The company has always been my life – even as a child. Since 2007 I have been running it with what my ancestors passed on to me: a spirit of innovation, entrepreneurial spirit and the courage to take on great challenges.

Five generations of the Nick family
NIQUA has been in the hands of the Nick family since 1897. Two world wars, economic crises and times of standstill – in spite of every crisis and challenge, the company kept going, because each generation took on responsibility and passed it on to the next.
