Richard Wolf GmbH celebrates its 75th anniversary this year

(Knittlingen, January 19, 2022) Richard Wolf GmbH, the medical technology company based in the German town of Knittlingen, is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year.

“Anniversaries always provide an opportunity to reflect on the past. If there’s one constant theme running through Richard Wolf GmbH’s 75 years in business, it’s the fact that virtually nothing has remained static.
