Following a very brief period of insolvency after the company fell into financial difficulties, the 17 employees of boraident in Halle an der Saale (Saxony-Anhalt, Germany) can breathe a sigh of relief. The HEGLA Group, headquartered in Beverungen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany (with approx. 550 employees worldwide), is taking over the site on 5th October, 2017. All current employees and patents will be incorporated into the newly founded HEGLA boraident GmbH & Co. KG.

“The success of a company is always dependent upon its employees working together for a common objective”, says HEGLA’s Managing Director, Manfred Vollbracht. This makes it all the more gratifying to honour six employees for having been with the company for 25 years. “There are two distinct advantages of their remaining loyal to the company for so many years. One is that these employees are a great fund of experience for a hi-tech company like HEGLA. And the other is the human factor that friendships and personal appreciation grow and develop in this time”.

Twelve pupils at the secondary school in Beverungen in North Rhine-Westphalia step up to participate in the telc European language certificate. For the fifth time, the local adult education centre and the school combined to provide the additional programme for further language qualification. As a means of keeping participation costs to a minimum, the programme once again attracted the locally-based HEGLA company as financial sponsor.

Automation is increasingly the trend in the insulating glass sector. Technology is being used to improve the quality of the products and processes, and to lower production costs.
