On May 21, 2022, our anniversary celebration for the 50th anniversary of the paper mill in Gelsenkirchen was held. Around 200 guests came to celebrate this special event with us in the best weather. All kinds of delicacies were offered throughout the celebration, which received the highest compliments. The visitors were able to gain an insight into the production process through various guided tours of plant and watch an image film about our plant at 3 information panels, get an overview of the apprenticeship offers and create paper with their own hands. The plant tours were welcomed with great excitement.

The highlight, of course, was our "Children's Paradise". The little and older children got their chance to enjoy the festivities in a visibly relaxed atmosphere. The youth fire department did the rest, some small hand, extinguished with a real firefighting tube already very skillfully a possible house fire.

A wonderful anniversary day came to an end and it was nice to look into all the satisfied and happy people' faces. We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all those who helped to make this celebration one to remember for a long time to come.
