Back to the 1970s

This year’s retirees and long-serving employees met with the management, works council, HR team and other guests for a celebratory event. The memories went far back into the past. Our colleague Heinz Tholen, for example, joined what was then Klasmann Werke in 1975. So, our Managing Director Damian Ikemann looked back on fifty years of exciting company history. He said: “We are a successful company because we have you. We make the best substrates because you go the extra mile. We will remain successful because we have colleagues like you. Therefore, on behalf of Klasmann-Deilmann, I would like to thank you for your longstanding loyalty, your continuous commitment to the company and for your day-to-day dedication to our company. Klasmann-Deilmann would be nothing without employees like you. Thank you for everything.”
