After almost three decades at the helm of VisiConsult X-ray Systems & Solutions GmbH, founder Hajo Schulenburg handed over the management of the internationally successful medium-sized company to his sons Lennart and Finn Schulenburg on January 1, 2025. This concludes the company succession, which has been strategically prepared for over ten years.
From Start-Up to Global Market Leader
In 1996, Hajo Schulenburg founded VisiConsult GmbH as a software company. With innovative solutions and consistent customer orientation, as well as the support of his wife Silke Schulenburg – who was responsible for human resources for many years, to name just one area – the company developed into a global market leader in industrial X-ray technology. Milestones such as the first international partner cooperation (2005), the opening of a branch in Atlanta/USA (2016) and the establishment of a subsidiary in Pune, India (2020) mark the company’s impressive growth path.
Lennart Schulenburg, who has been with the company for over 14 years and has been co-Managing Director alongside Hajo Schulenburg since 2020, will take over the management together with his brother Finn, who has been with the company for over 13 years. Finn Schulenburg has been heading the Technical Division in recent years and thus combines in-depth technical expertise with extensive leadership and management experience. Together, they bring many years of experience and new impulses to continue VisiConsult’s growth.
“The values that define VisiConsult – innovative and team spirit, a sense of responsibility, customer focus and stability – will continue to be the basis of our actions in the future,” emphasizes Lennart Schulenburg. With the now established dual leadership, the company remains in family hands, complemented by a strong management team of experienced division leads, department and team leaders.
“I am proud that we were able to implement the company succession with an internal family solution and have great confidence in the abilities of my sons and the entire team. VisiConsult is excellently positioned to continue to grow and develop new markets,” explains Hajo Schulenburg.
Hajo Schulenburg takes on key role in India
Hajo Schulenburg will continue to be associated with the company as a strategic advisor and in a key role for the site in Pune, India. There, he will leverage his start-up and scale-up expertise to further expand the Indian market as Co-General Manager and to advance the local production for the region. “At our Pune site, we are committed to strengthening our manufacturing capabilities in and for the Asian region to provide the most reliable quality, increased efficiency and innovative solutions. By further developing our local presence, customers in the region will benefit from shorter delivery times, optimized manufacturing and a local team that can directly implement even the most demanding applications.”
Technological expertise and innovative strength remain key
With the combination of tradition and forward momentum, VisiConsult continues to grow. Customers, partners and employees can rely on the company to continue delivering the highest quality, innovation and reliability. “With Hajo’s life’s work as a foundation, we look to the future with confidence: VisiConsult is and will remain a company driven by technological expertise and innovation. Our goal is to continually redefine the state of the art in our industry and to inspire our customers time and again,” adds Finn Schulenburg.
