This year, there was a special occasion regarding our jubilarians. Two jubilarians from the onsite facility in Wattens, Austria, made a special trip to join our jubilarians from the Hahnstätten and Steeden plants in celebrating their anniversaries together.
All jubilarians had be invited to the lunch location "Schlemmerteam." Dr. Kai Schaefer, on behalf of the management, proudly presented certificates and gifts to 30 long-serving employees there.
