Wir arbeiten sehr gerne mit der Freiwilligen Feuerwehr Röslau zusammen, die uns auch immer im Zusammenhang mit unserer Brandmeldeanlage unterstützt, sei es zur Beratung, im Einsatz, etc.

A total of 2,700 exhibitors came to Düsseldorf over the five days of the trade fair to present on around 120,000 square metres that the wire, cable and tube industry and its suppliers are "ready" for future challenges in the energy industry.

Our customers, as well as many interested visitors from Germany and abroad, took the opportunity to visit our stand in the highly frequented Hall 10. Various product highlights could be viewed and explained at the stand. Intensive discussions about the current global challenges and new requirements for wire processing - also with regard to sustainability - were held during the five days of the exhibition. Direct customer contact was also particularly appreciated.

In March 2023, our shareholder donation was handed over to the AWO Women's Refuge Hochfranken in Selb.

The donation has since been used to equip the play corner in the AWO women's refuge to mark the opening of the new building this year. Together with our shareholders and the children, we are delighted that we were able to bring some meaningful joy with our donation.

The Röslau kindergarten purchased an electric handcart from donations – we also contributed. The ceremonial handover took place on February 8th, 2024 and our Ms. Köther participated. We are pleased that the children can go on many lovely trips in the near surroundings of the kindergarten with their e-handcart.

"Thank you very much for your generous donation!" say all the children and the "Spatzennest" team

Ende des Jahres 2022 erreichte uns ein Brief des Vereins Hilfe für Frauen in Not e.V. und weckte unser Interesse daran, das AWO Frauenhaus Hochfranken in Selb zu unterstützen.

Das AWO-Frauenhaus verfügt über sieben Zimmer und diverse Gemeinschaftsräume (Küche, Wohnraum) sowie drei Bäder. Die Frauen im Alter zwischen 18 und 70 Jahren sind meist Opfer von häuslicher Gewalt und Stalking. Teilweise halten sich bis zu 16 Kinder mit im Haus auf. Gerade diese leiden besonders unter der Situation, müssen sie doch ihr gewohntes Umfeld, Schule und Freunde verlassen. Vielen Frauen konnte schon dabei geholfen werden, zur Ruhe zu kommen und sich eine neue Zukunft aufzubauen.

Die Gesellschafter unseres Unternehmens wählen jährlich einen guten Zweck für ihre Spende und im März wurde diese übergeben.

Entgegengenommen wurde diese von Tanja Lang, 1. Vorsitzende Hilfe für Frauen in Not e.V – hier im Bild mit Geschäftsführer Willi Josef Ferfers und unserer Betriebsratsvorsitzenden, Nadine Anger.
