He was a successful businessman and a valued employer to numerous families worldwide.

He directly supported people in need, donated to many charity projects and was a deeply devout Christian and a loving family man.
In this time of parting and mourning, may the memory of Wilhelm Klepsch and his legacy provide comfort and allow his inspiring way of life to live on in us. We will all remember Willhelm Klepsch fondly – as a caring human being and as someone who, as a pioneer and visionary left a strong mark on the engineering plastics industry worldwide.
