Weiss Technik recently honored the long-standing employees from three years. After the celebration could not take place in 2020 and 2021, it was now celebrated in a nice setting and with good food in the canteen at the Heuchelheim site.

Peter R. Manolopoulos, Managing Director of Weiss Technik and Member of the Executive Board of the Schunk Group, gave an overview of the current situation at Weiss Technik and, together with the long-standing employees and colleagues, took a humorous look back at the company's past.

Inge Bernert had a very special anniversary to celebrate: In September 1970, she had started her apprenticeship at Weiss Technik, which was not yet part of the Schunk Group at that time. She worked there for a long time in the post-calculation/operations accounting department before moving to the warehouse/small parts shipping department in 2013, where she took her well-deserved retirement on January 1, 2021. Half a century of service to the company - that is something extraordinary and was therefore also recognized at the celebration in a special way and with much applause.

With fewer long-standing employees, but no less cordiality and gratitude, the celebration took place in Balingen: Here, too, colleagues with 25 and 40 years of service were honored. Here, Purchasing Agent Birgit Wörz was the longest-serving employee with 40 years of service. Thomas Jarck had two reasons to be happy: As site manager in Balingen, he was happy with "his" long-standing employees and at the same time celebrated his own 25-year service anniversary.
