Max Anton Offner, the grandson of the company founder (* 1923 in Augsburg; † 1992) took over the company in 1953 and moved it to Kissing. He created several hundred new buildings and conversions. His instruments have a southern German neo-baroque sound. He died after falling from an organ in the nave .
Maximilian Offner (* 1952), the first great-grandson of the company founder, founded his own workshop in Kissing in 1987.
Andreas Offner (* 1965), the second great-grandson of the company founder, continued to run the parent company after the accidental death of his father, initially as an organ builder together with his mother. Since 1995 he has been leading it independently as a master organ builder.
