Education, job and career

When he was nineteen, Nestlé AG bought the dairy in Eisenharz in the West Allgäu , where he and his father were employed. After graduating from high school , he completed a commercial apprenticeship there . He then moved to Nestlé in Frankfurt, where he studied business administration while working and graduated with a degree in business administration.

From 1964 to 1980 he held various management positions at Nestlé Frankfurt, and from 1975 he was General Manager of the Nestlé Group Germany. On October 1, 1980, he was appointed to Switzerland as General Manager of Nestlé SA and a member of the Executive Committee.

In November 1981 he was appointed Delegate of the Board of Directors of Nestlé SA in Vevey . From 1990 to 1997 he was both President and Delegate of the Board of Directors. During this time, the man from Allgäu built the company into the largest food company in the world with over 260,000 employees. After resigning as a delegate, he remained Chairman of the Board of Directors until 2000, when he was made Honorary Chairman. He was the first non- Swiss to ever hold such a prominent position in a Swiss company.

The term “ affluent garbage” coined by Maucher , with which he demeaned people who were unwilling to work, became the bad word of the year in 1997 .
