Positive year review and best prognosis at year-end ceremony

Grünsfeld/Beckstein – Once more, Bohlender GmbH from Gruensfeld booked the Kilians-Keller in Beckstein with its impressive atmosphere for their year-end ceremony. Nearly all 60 employees of the medium-sized company accepted the invitation of their president Volker Bohlender to celebrate a successful year 2013 together with their partners.

As last year, Volker Bohlender reported a double-digit increase in turnover for both brands BOLA - professional high-performance fluoroplastic labware - and SICCO - Desiccators and drying cabinets - at the beginning of his traditional year review. This is mainly due to the commitment and know-how of the employees, continued the entrepreneur and expressed his respect.

Especially the presence of his employees on domestic and foreign exhibitions required high commitment. Solely in France, they travelled around and participated in five exhibitons.

Even the first participation in the "Productronica" in Munich already pays. The international trade fair for innovative electronics production is the perfect platform for the opening up of new markets, especially SICCO Desiccators. "We can be pleased about full order books for the year to come", Bohlender proudly presented.

In order to guarantee, however, short waiting times and fast deliveries, BOHLENDER invested in innovative machinery and created new jobs. Volker Bohlender was especially pleased to announce that all apprentices will be taken on in 2014 and two new apprentices will be hired. "Particularly in times of lack of qualified personnel, well-trained employees are much important and forward-looking." This is why BOHLENDER participated again in the Education fair in Lauda and promoted their regionally rooted company on the small "Trade show" in Gruensfeld.

As much important as young professionals, is experienced staff that contributes to the company´s success with their large know-how, Volker Bohlender goes on. This is why he is pleased to honour long-standing employees: Christopher Schmitt for 5 years, Rainer Schoeroesch for 25 years and Ernst Schweitzer for 30 years of seniority. These anniversaries show the company´s great working atmosphere.

This finds expression in many common trips or events such as the traditional "pickled herrings-meal" on Ash Wednesday, the participation in a team run in Koenigshofen and, of course, the periodic BOHLENDER-Adventure Day. BOHLENDER´s staff spent that day 2013 near Lake Brombach. This event could of course not be missed in Volkers Bohlender´s year review so he showed enjoyable pictures from the Segway-Tour and the crag before the evening has gently faded away.
