Glamour and Hollywood feeling under the sign of the perfect wave

The Klingele Paper and Packaging Group celebrated its customers, partners and employees in style at an epic company party in Remshalden on 15 and 16 June. The group made up for the postponed 100th anniversary event in 2020, which was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, with a cinematic event. In addition to an impressive programme, high-profile guests created a real Hollywood feeling.

After the festive opening of the evening event by the founder's grandchildren, Fiona and Dr Jan Klingele, former Prime Minister of Baden-Württemberg and friend of the family Günther Oettinger, in his subsequent welcoming address, turned his attention to the pioneering role of the company, in which strong women and mothers have been demonstrating business acumen and courage since its foundation. In a fascinating Passion Talk, high-profile guests such as hairdressing world champion Dominik Buchfink, big wave surfer Freddy Olander and the announced surprise guest, the singer of the band Juli, Eva Briegel, talked to Dr Jan Klingele and presenter Helena Felixberger about their own personal perfect wave. The highlight of the evening, however, was the trailer for the new employee film, in which the employees shone in the leading roles. A talk with the management team beforehand provided a glimpse behind the scenes of the film production. Finally, the company's history was presented in an eye-catching way: an impressive Holoshow in combination with a contemporary dancer on stage impressively bridged the gap between people and digitalisation. A sign of humanity was also set by the appeal for donations for the ‘Brigitte Klingele Foundation’ to support Catholic hospice work in Stuttgart, which raised more than 15,000 euros at the company party.
