On July 1, 2024, the time had finally come: PPC GmbH celebrated its 30th anniversary in style, with a specially erected tent on the company premises. Many current and former employees attended, along with numerous companions from the PAPSTAR Group and external guests of honour, to celebrate this special milestone.
The evening was characterized by a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere, with good food and lively live music. Employees and colleagues took the opportunity to exchange memories and toast to the future together.
The highlight of the celebration was the official transfer of the sole management of PPC, which had been prepared for over the past year. Harald Hauke, who had led and shaped the company as managing director for three decades, handed over the reins to his successor, Achim Kieser. This ceremony was not only a formal act but also an emotional farewell. Harald Hauke reflected on 30 years of company history, recalling the highs and lows, and thanked his team, colleagues, and companions for their years of support and collaboration. His words were moving and touched everyone present.
However, the anniversary celebration was not only a look back at the past but also a sign of solidarity and shared anticipation for future challenges and successes. With the new management under Achim Kieser, we continue to look optimistically to the future, always relying on innovation, team spirit, and the strong sense of community that has distinguished our company for three decades.
Thank you, Harald Hauke, for 30 years of tireless dedication to PPC, and all the best and much success in your new challenges!
