SOS-Kinderdorf donation

Last year (2023) we donated to SOS-Kinderdorf and Stiftung Bethel again. The world is full of crises, wars and enormous challenges. Despite the difficult market situation and economic challenges in our industry and for us as a company, it is very important to us to think about the smallest and most vulnerable members of our society - because they are our future!

CMT 2024

Last weekend the "Cycling & Hiking Travel" event took place at CMT in Stuttgart. Some of our employees were visiting, as it is practically right on our doorstep. You can't miss the opportunity to get an overview of the innovations and trends from the various manufacturers, including some of our customers and partners. Enthusiastically bikes were tested on the course and exciting new details were examined very closely.

Christmas mail

During the last few days, preparations for our annual Christmas mail have been in full swing. Spoiler alert! Prepare yourself for chocolate-filled X-MAS greetings from us very soon, if you are one of the lucky recipients.

ForumW

Last week Axel had the opportunity to take part in the Winnenden economic dialogue “ForumW”. A very successful event format that discusses current, interesting topics and offers the opportunity to network and exchange locally.

The Boss at Work

The boss on his way through the Black Forest. Of course with his favorite means of transport. The first day at the top at a good 1,100 meters, 8°C and a mix of sun and rain. As soon as he went downhill into the Rhine Valley the next day, it became much warmer.
