Three Generations of Women Distributing Awlgrip
Inga von der Linden considers herself to be “part of the Awlgrip family”; and we agree with her. Inga’s life and livelihood are inseparably tied to the Awlgrip brand as her family has been a distributor for 40 years.
Her company in Germany, Von Der Linden, is a highly renowned marine distributor that was started in 1978 by her mother. In 1986 Inga did an internship in St. Louis at U.S. Paint, which was the company that started the Awlgrip product line. Her internship that year educated her on all aspects of the products; from production, compliance, application, and sales.
As her daughter prepares to join the family business, it will become a three-generation lineage of women who distribute and represent the Awlgrip brand throughout Germany and Europe.
We had the great pleasure of hearing Inga’s story in her own words during an online video interview this year as she joined us in celebrating Awlgrip’s 50th Anniversary. We are proud to have her as a member of the Awlgrip family.
