Jubilee in the Jubilee Year – 10 Years of Zhuhai
On 31 July, Kurtz Zhuhai Manufacturing Ltd. (KZM) celebrated a wonderful jubilee event in the newly-erected production hall. In the very spot where reflow ovens are now being built, our staff and a number of business partners celebrated 10 years of presence at the Chinese site.
“What started off as Project Ricecorn has developed into a fertile rice field and is on its way to becoming a huge plantation,” said Bernd Schenker, head of Asian operations, in his speech. Then Rainer Kurtz introduced the guests to the 235-year company history of Kurtz Ersa. What then followed was something which is regularly on the agenda in the German sites, but which was a first in the history of KZM: Staff members were distinguished for their 10 years of service with the company. KZM started up with 25 staff 10 years ago; 13 of whom were now celebrating their “10-year jubilee” – a rare occurrence in China.
Jubilee with stylish Highlight
The undisputed highlight of the event was the fashion show prepared and initiated by the staff themselves – the repertoire of the amateur models from production, logistics, engineering and bookkeeping ranged from traditional Chinese costumes to workwear and on to the German football strip.
