News from the world of Schürholz

For the first Advent, our employees receive an Advent calendar from the Lions Club - a small gift that also supports a good cause. This year, we have once again presented each employee with a calendar, the proceeds of which will be used to support social projects in the region. The calendar offers numerous attractive prizes from local retailers and restaurateurs - from valuable vouchers to fantastic grand prizes. In previous years, the winners have enjoyed dream trips or even a new car. We wish everyone a peaceful Advent season and lots of fun with their calendar!

On February 10 of this year, we received an urgent request from the DRK Blood Donation Service West to hold another blood donation at short notice. Due to an acute emergency in the supply of blood and blood products to hospitals, blood reserves are urgently needed. The willingness to donate is still declining in the area.

Today, on 19.03.2024, it was time again. Almost 60 employees from Elaflex Hiby, Gris and Schürholz agreed to donate life-saving blood. We would like to thank all donors for their willingness and the DRK for the smooth operation! We take our social responsibility seriously and are pleased to have made a small contribution for the fourth time in a row.

On International Children's Day today, 20.09.2023, a blood donation campaign took place on the Schürholz Group's premises. For the third time in a row, colleagues from Elaflex Hiby, Gris Umformtechnik and Schürholz donated blood. But it is not only in children's hospitals that there is a major shortage of blood. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 82 percent of all people worldwide need blood components at least once in their lives. We are delighted that almost 50 employees from the three companies have taken part in this campaign and will hopefully be able to save lives! We would like to thank all donors and the DRK team for this success!
