Germany: 120th anniversary in Schwaebisch Gmuend
Umicore Galvanotechnik in Schwaebisch Gmuend organised a Family Day in celebration of 120 years of company history. Founded in 1888 as a gold and silver refinery, today over 180 employees are part of the Umicore Jewellery and Electroplating business unit.
About 800 guests, employees, families and neighbours attended the event. Employees led visitors on guided tours of the various workplaces, including the new platinised products hall.
Meanwhile the youngest visitors were kept busy with different attractions, such as a bungee trampoline, face paintings and an amusing clown.
