OUR PARTNERS
FOUNDING. The Theo and Liesel Bechtold Foundation is a non-profit foundation that is managed and organized exclusively by the family council. Our foundation was founded in memory of our father Theo Bechtold (1935 - 2020), who was close to nature and animals throughout his life.
PURPOSE. After the unexpected death of our father Theo Bechtold in 2020, the family decided to hand over the inherited assets to the Theo and Liesel Bechtold Foundation. The purpose of the foundation is to save the world's oceans, in particular to avoid marine plastic.
BECHTOLD FAMILY. We are more than a foundation. Bechtold Fensterfabrik GmbH has been part of the Bechtold family since 1966. Bechtold Solar-Technik GmbH was founded in 2004. As one of the most important businesses in the region, we bear responsibility for people and the environment!
PROJECTS. The total assets of our foundation can generate amounts each year that benefit environmental projects. We are happy to support institutions, universities, schools and working groups in educational projects and research projects. Feel free to read about our current project: https://projectmanaia.at/
