The three managing partners Juliane Hehl, Renate Keinath and Michael Hehl opened the evenings with an animated question-and-answer session and described in a very authentic and personal way what has made ARBURG special for the past century and which path the company is taking for the next 100 years.
The 100-year success story was brought to life on two large LED screens. The 400 to 500 guests were taken on an exciting journey through time, packed with ARBURG milestones and images of the events of the day. These included the company's first own injection molding machine, the "Informant" demo bus, stands at various trade fairs and much more.
You could also watch the show performances of freestyle artists on the stage and on the LED walls.
Drummers showed a glimpse of the future in a spectacular LED drum show.
Sales and Technology Managing Directors Gerhard Böhm and Guido Frohnhaus presented two anniversary machines in a lively dialogue: The hybrid ALLROUNDER 470 H in the "Comfort" and "Premium" performance variants, which contain many technical innovations that are only available from ARBURG. An "Ultimate" performance version and other sizes will follow later this year.
Video greetings sent in by quite a few of the 3,600 employees worldwide in advance were another highlight at the anniversary celebrations. A selection of them was projected on the big screens. The evening ended with a party featuring the band "Fabelhaft". With live music as an accompaniment, many guests took advantage of the opportunity to share ideas until well into the night, had stimulating conversations with old acquaintances and new faces at the bar and took pleasure in looking forward to the next 100 years of ARBURG's success story.
