The official start of our employees’ 150th anniversary year of our company was literally a big event. Under the motto “We undertake the future.” our workforce met at the Bocholter Kinodrom. The event was hosted by the Spaleck owner family. The program included getting in the mood for the year ahead with numerous employee and customer events. Afterwards, all employees enthusiastically watched the German comedy “Was nicht passt, wird passend gemacht” in the Kinodrom’s large auditorium 1.
Marlies Spaleck: “150 years of company history is something very special. We undertake the future – our anniversary motto – reflects the way our employees have thought and acted for 5 generations. With foresight, courage, innovation and entrepreneurial spirit, the founding father Otto Spaleck developed a mechanical engineering factory from a simple locksmith’s workshop in 1869 and served the rapidly growing textile industry. In the course of the company’s long history, it has often had to overcome the most adverse circumstances: Two world wars, the escape from the Thuringian town of Greiz to Bocholt in 1949, as well as economic turning points in the textile business segment. Today, you are the employees who are helping to shape the company. My family and I are extremely grateful for the great team that we form with you.”
Today, SPALECK is a globally sought-after “green machine manufacturer”. The screening machines made in Bocholt help internationally in the processing of recyclable materials from waste. SPALECK is also a supplier of Welded assemblies and Precision parts for the agricultural, food and railroad industries, among others.
After the joint movie, there was another particularly atmospheric moment. In the cinema’s Spencer’s bistro, the official tapping of the keg took place with the SPALECK anniversary beer brewed especially in Greiz, where the company was founded. Afterwards, our team had the opportunity to exchange ideas across departments. Further information on the anniversary year can be found at www.spaleck150.de.
