- Peter Leibinger owns 29.4% of the world's largest manufacturer of machine tools, TRUMPF.

- Christian Trumpf, who had no children, chose Berthold as his successor and handed over control of the company to him in 1972.
- After retiring from management in 2005, Berthold passed the company's ownership to his three children, each of whom now owns 29.4%.
- Peter studied mechanical engineering at RWTH University in Aachen, Germany, and worked as an engineer at Ingersoll Milling Machine Company, in Rockford, IL.
