Interview: "I can't give any tips on how to sell your company - even though many people ask me about it"

Max Viessmann, a family business owner, has been the subject of much speculation lately. Several media outlets reported that he wanted to join FC Bayern Munich for 250 million euros, but he remained silent. In an interview with the Handelsblatt, Viessmann spoke about the motivation behind his investments in sports sponsorship and partnerships, rather than announcing a deal or denying one.

He also revealed how much revenue he directly managed after selling the heating division of the Viessmann Generations Group. Viessmann also discussed whether he perceives a trend towards company sales in Germany. He clarified that he is a great fan of FC Bayern Munich, but he cannot comment on the rumors about joining the team.
