OHB CEO Marco Fuchs Reflects on Remarkable Growth and Space Ambitions

Marco Fuchs, CEO of OHB AG, reflects on the company's remarkable growth from a small office in 1995 to a global player with 3,600 employees today. He finds purpose in OHB's impactful work, such as developing CO2 monitoring satellites, and feels at home in the space community.

Fuchs admires SpaceX, dubbing it the 'space company of our time', for its engineering prowess and dedication. Looking ahead, OHB aims to boost its technological and economic growth by 2030 through advancements in satellite tech, space industry collaboration, and sustainability initiatives like reducing greenhouse gas emissions in launches.

The company seeks to capitalize on Germany's increased space investments, positioning itself strongly in the global market through innovation and strategic partnerships. Fuchs expects the defense sector's share in OHB's sales to more than double, driven by increased budgets from the Federal Ministry of Defense. OHB, headquartered in Bremen, is involved in numerous high-tech projects for astronomical research and defense, with Fuchs envisioning the company as a pioneer in the European 'space boom'.

OHB, under Marco Fuchs' leadership, is poised for significant growth and impact in the global space market. Its focus on innovation, sustainability, and strategic partnerships positions it well to capitalize on increased investments in space security and satellite constellations.
