In the beginning it is often "just" a visionary idea
As an entrepreneur in the fourth generation of the familiy business Spaleck, Otto Spaleck rought together people from the most diverse indsutries, experiences and continents and initiated countless innovative business and social issues and projects on a regional level.
One of these projects that was close to his heart and which he supported from the very beginning was the university location in Bocholt, in particular the development of the bionics department. In 2011 he founded the OTTO SPALECK FOUNDATION in order to be able to work sustainably and in the long term.
In this sense, the foundation implements Otto Spaleck’s vision.
