The yearly event held to honour longstanding employees and say farewell to staff entering their well-earned retirement is always a highlight of the HEGLA calendar. “People who stay at one company for so long are becoming such a rarity,” HEGLA’s Managing Director, Bernhard Hötger, was keen to point out during the celebrations. “All of you have been contributing to the success of HEGLA for decades now, enriching our team with your personalities. For that I want to thank you – on behalf of the management, the Board, and all of our colleagues.”

Laser finishing can be used to produce custom, functional and decorative glass products. The trend towards new applications in this segment has not been driven exclusively by technological progress. In fact, the development has far more to do with changes in customer demand and the more general feasibility of options for generating greater added value.

Visit us from April 14th to 17th at the China Glass in Shanghai.

The German HEGLA Group announced that on 5 September 2019 in Nokia, Finland, it signed a sales agreement with the current stockholders of TAIFIN Glass Machinery Oy regarding the majority of the company’s share capital. HEGLA will take over 51% of TAIFIN’s stock and the company will conduct its future business under the name HEGLA-TAIFIN Oy.

Under the trade fair slogan “Three times the expertise”, the HEGLA Group presentation at Vitrum 2019 in Milan will focus on solutions for the increasingly complex requirements for machine performance, digitalisation, and laser-supported product tracking and finishing. This focal area also represents the Group’s aims of continuous further development and growth. Alongside HEGLA Maschinenbau, the Group has now been home to HEGLA-HANIC, the software company, and the laser application specialist HEGLA boraident for almost one year. “Vitrum 2019 marks our first time exhibiting as a group, and each of our companies can benefit from the additional expertise of the others’ specialisms,” said HEGLA Managing Director Bernhard Hötger. “We also have some innovations and advanced developments to show and are looking forward to the trade fair with confidence.”

“In today’s fast-paced times, people rarely work for the same company for decades. It is therefore extremely important to us that this year, we are again able to celebrate numerous colleagues who have worked for us for many years,” explains HEGLA COO Bernhard Hötger. Together, nine employees had worked for HEGLA for an impressive 241 years in 2018. During a small celebration with the Works Council and the department heads, the management thanked the employees in person for their constant dedication and long-term loyalty.

The HEGLA Group, based in Beverungen, has made changes to its management team to further the consistent and long-term development of the company in line with its strategy for sustained growth.

After more than 41 years of active involvement, HEGLA Managing Director Manfred Vollbracht has retired shortly before his 66th birthday. “At some point you have to ask yourself what life after work might look like, and when that time has come”, he said, explaining his decision.

In the spirit of Glasstec 2016, HEGLA introduced a new generation of the ProLam laminated glass cutting system while at the same time providing a glimpse of the future of laminated cutting with the Rapidlam system.

The good mood was clearly visible to the HEGLA managing directors Manfred Vollbracht and Bernhard Hötger when they were able to congratulate six employees on their 25th company anniversary during a small celebration. "These people have been a part of HEGLA for so long and have been committed to the success of the company with their work. A wonderful occasion to celebrate together and to appreciate the time we spent together", explained Manfred Vollbracht.

The addition of almost 10,000 m² of production space marks yet another investment by HEGLA in the Beverungen site. On Friday, 28th August 2015, the company celebrated the opening of the new Plant 3 with a barbecue attended by the workforce of almost 500 as well as the tradespeople who worked on the alteration.
