 Cultural events in our workshop |
Every year there are a number of cultural events "Kultur in der Werkstatt" in our workshop, which become more and more popular and attract large audiences. | |||
|
|
||||
|
2007
- Installation of new machines
|
||||
|
In order to meet the latest technological standards, we install a number of new machines in our workshop, e.g. an automatic edge-banding machine, a MAYER panel saw and a highly effective new air filtering system. |
||||
|
|
||||
We decide to stage a series of cultural events in our workshop, which we call "Kultur in der Werkstatt". The term stands for musical events, readings, recitals, exhibitions, fairs etc. presented by established as well as unknown artists from our region but also from all over Germany and Austria. More than 100 visitors attend the first of these events. After this initial success, we decide to continue staging these cultural events. |
