On 20th January 2007 ZEITLAUF^® antriebstechnik officially opened the celebrations for its jubilee year.

"50 years of ZEITLAUF^®" The starting signal for a whole series of events was a magnificent firework display on the Kunigundenberg hill along the Pegnitz, which is where the company is based in Central Franconia. Members of the company, added value partners and business friends were invited. In his jubilee speech, Managing Director Thomas Horz recalled the company's excellent performance record and divulged the company's secret to success over the last decades: "In addition to top qualifications, the dedication and readiness of all employees to accept responsibility are the key to success."

Around 500 guests enjoyed mulled wine and typical German bratwurst during the open-air event. Fire-eaters conjured up "hot" moments with daring flame acrobatics, and a colourful slide show provided an entertaining look back at 50 years of exciting ZEITLAUF^® company history.

In its jubilee year, however, ZEITLAUF^® also wants to remember those people who are in urgent need of aid. Various donation campaigns are to be held throughout the jubilee activities. During the kick-off event, Thomas Horz appealed for the guests to donate to the Hubert Schwarz Fund for children in need all over the world.
