Lutz Mario Helmig, a doctor by training, is well known in Germany for having founded the company that became Helios Hospital Group.Before selling Helios to competitor Fresenius for $2 billion in 2005, he founded ATON GmbH, which still serves as his family's investment company. It is active in four main business-to-business segments: engineering, mining, medical and aviation. Helmig personally owns 60% of ATON, which is based in Munich. (The remaining 40% is held by his wife and two daughters.) ATON owns 66% of EDAG Engineering Group, spun off from ATON in a 2015 IPO.
In 2013 Helmig donated almost $3 million to Grebenhain, a village where he has resided since the 1970s. His only requirement was that the community's government not assume new debts in the next three years, except for investments in infrastructure.
