In Memoriam With sadness, we share that THOMAS M. ADAM, managing partner of Berger-Seidle, passed away on January 4, 2024, at the age of 71. From 1974 to 2024, Thomas M.

Thomas passionately dedicated his professional life to the service of the company and the wood flooring industry – in Germany, America, and globally. The Berger-Siedle team says Thomas was a valued leader and role model, personally and professionally, whose work will remain unforgotten. 2024 marks his 50th anniversary at the Berger Group. They will continue his legacy with passion and determination.
