Helmut Hack, 2014

Helmut Hack (born September 10, 1949 in Vestenbergsgreuth ) is a German sports official and former entrepreneur. Until his retirement in November 2013, he was managing director of Martin Bauer GmbH in Vestenbergsgreuth. Since 1996 he has also been President of SpVgg Greuther Fürth and Managing Director of the football department, Spielvereinigung Greuther Fürth GmbH & Co. KGaA. On May 23, 2018, Hack announced his resignation from all offices in July 2018 to the press.

Live and act

In his youth, Hack himself played soccer in the Bavarian regional league , first with SpVgg Uehlfeld , later with ASV Höchstadt / Aisch , with 1. FC Nürnberg in the youth team and finally in Vestenbergsgreuth. A serious sports injury ended his playing career, so that Hack concentrated early on on his further professional activities. His career began in 1963 in the Martin Bauer Group , a holding company made up of more than 20 global companies with around 3,000 employees in the field of herbal and fruit teas or extracts, herbal powders and raw materials, as well as food supplements for the tea, beverage and phytopharmaceutical industries Industry. Hack began an apprenticeship as a businessman at the age of 13 and learned the global tea business from scratch. One of his services to the company is said to be that the group of companies, with the help of Hack, concentrated on the introduction of the infusion bag early on in the 1970s, while the competitors only concentrated on expanding their retail business. The introduction of herbal teas at the end of the 1970s, which were almost unrivaled on the tea market at the time, is one of the company's recipe for success. At this time, Hack also relied on the introduction of fruit teas and gave the group of companies a very good sales market for teas with fruit flavors. In the 1980s, Helmut Hack became managing director of the newly founded subsidiary Plantextrakt. At the end of the 1980s, as a result of the political change and the opening of the borders in the east, he developed the business in the new markets and thus laid one of the foundations through which the Bauer Group is still one of the market leaders in the field of herbal and fruit teas. In 2013, Hack ended his career after 50 years with the Martin Bauer Group. Helmut Hack is married and has two sons.

Game Association Greuther Fürth

Helmut Hack headed the football club TSV Vestenbergsgreuth in the Steigerwald from October 23, 1984 to May 13, 1997. During this time, Hack succeeded in 1995 in merging the football club Spielvereinigung Fürth, which had run into difficulties financially and playfully, with the football department of TSV Vestenbergsgreuth "Spielvereinigung Greuther Fürth" ( SpVgg Greuther Fürth ), now represented in the Bundesliga . The entry of the significantly smaller TSV Vestenbergsgreuth team to the game association is controversial - at least in the Fürth football scene - but the financial resources of the smaller club helped the larger club to survive or made it possible to return to the 2nd Bundesliga. Since July 1996 Helmut Hack was President of SpVgg Greuther Fürth and managed the business of the association. Helmut Hack is also a member of the DFL Presidium and, since August 2016, a DFB Board Member and DFL Vice President. In addition, Helmut Hack, as an elected member of the league board of the Bundesliga, campaigns for the interests of the clubs, especially the second division clubs. Hack is honorary chairman of TSV Vestenbergsgreuth.

Awards

The city ​​of Fürth awarded Helmut Hack the Golden Clover Leaf in 2000 and the Golden Citizen Medal in 2012. In 2007 Helmut Hack received the "Goldene Rosehutte", an award from the trade association for herbal and fruit teas. A year earlier he received from the then Bavarian State Minister of the Interior and later Prime Minister Dr. Günther Beckstein the Federal Cross of Merit .
