Figuratively put, the four business segments wholesale, retail, financial services and IT can be seen as the individual racehorses collectively pulling the Porsche Holding chariot. All four racehorses pursue the same vision, observe the same rules and uphold the same values. Yet each of our business units has its own distinct personality and unique culture. This diversity makes interdisciplinary cooperation across departments a multifaceted and exciting experience. Mouse over the headings to learn more about our business areas!
