In perfect weather, the company presented itself at its site in Gablingen as a modern, versatile and responsible employer and partner to industry. ‘We are delighted that so many people from the surrounding area found their way to us. The interest is really overwhelming! It is important to us that our neighbours know what we do here and how we handle chemicals,’ says Andreas Frank, Managing Director at STAUB & CO. - SILBERMANN.
There was plenty on offer for visitors of all ages: While the youngest guests were able to let off steam in the children's area with bouncy castle and climbing mountain, many visitors enjoyed the view over the factory premises from a lofty height - made possible by a spectacular crane ride 56 metres above the ground. In the beer tent, a traditional Bavarian veal sausage breakfast and traditional brass band music from the Batzenhofen Music Association created a convivial atmosphere.
In various themed pavilions, visitors were able to playfully discover which everyday products contain chemicals. At the numerous information stations, dedicated employees provided information about the variety of products, safety aspects when handling chemicals, the extensive storage capacities, the company's own railway siding and its own fleet of vehicles. ‘Some people may have been surprised at where they come into contact with our products. As a wholesaler, we don't offer products for end consumers, which is why people don't recognise us from the retail sector. Many visitors were surprised by the chemicals for the food industry in particular,’ smiles Andreas Frank.
STAUB & CO. - SILBERMANN also showed its best side as an employer: visitors were given exciting insights into the different areas of the company - from logistics, production and warehousing to administration and training.
The personal proximity to the employees and their enthusiasm for their work particularly impressed many visitors. The colleagues answered the numerous questions from the guests with expertise and commitment - an exchange that was very popular on both sides.
With this all-round successful event, STAUB & CO. - SILBERMANN impressively demonstrated how modern chemical distribution, active responsibility and open, cordial cooperation go hand in hand.
