More than 85 years with the company - Brumberg honors its employees.
At this year's Christmas party of Brumberg Leuchten GmbH & Co. KG, employees were honored who have been a part of the company for at least a decade and celebrated a round anniversary. With their more than 85 years of company affiliation, the colleagues are real figureheads. The celebration was also an opportunity to look back at 2019, which shows that the traditional company is changing.
85 years in one company. Not even Henry Ford or the Albrecht brothers managed that. At Brumberg, of course, people only work until they reach the statutory retirement age. But if you add up the years of service to the company of this year's anniversaries, you come up with exactly that number. "For us, it's a great confirmation of our work and the good working atmosphere that our employees stay with us for so long," explains Johannes Brumberg. "As a family-run, medium-sized company, our staff is our most important asset. That is why we are very pleased that some employees have been with Brumberg for more than 20 years," adds Benedikt Brumberg. The Managing Director is celebrating his tenth anniversary at the company, which he has managed together with his brother Johannes since 2009.
Stadium partner of Borussia Mönchengladbach.
A look at the showroom in Sundern shows that a lot has changed at the traditional lighting company in recent years. The image is changing: In the past, Brumberg was often associated in the industry with the '68 hole and the associated recessed spotlight. But at the latest since the cooperation with the Bundesliga soccer team Borussia Mönchengladbach, it is clear that the Sauerland company can do much more. There, Brumberg has equipped the complete new building complex Borussia 8 degrees, the museum, the fan store as well as the gastronomy areas with light in the 2018/19 Bundesliga season. From planning and project planning to implementation and consulting, the company provides a full range of lighting services. "We are very pleased to be the official stadium partner of Borussia Mönchengladbach for the next few years," explains Johannes Brumberg. "We are proud to be able to show that we, as a comparatively small company from the Sauerland region, have the capacities and the appropriate creative solutions to successfully implement such a project," adds Benedikt Brumberg.
Brumberg is breaking new ground.
The Sauerland company is also planning a number of interesting projects for the coming year and is looking to a successful future. In doing so, the company is also consciously breaking new ground. For this reason, a target for the topics of social responsibility and sustainability will be adopted in 2020. The first steps have already been taken: for example, "Brumberger" offsets the CO2 footprint of its catalog production by planting more than 80 deciduous trees in the neighboring forest. In addition, the company wants to become plastic-free and is currently converting packaging as well as shipping in the course of this.
"Things are happening."
Employees are excited about the change. "The company is changing and facing up to new issues. This is also a positive signal for the colleagues and makes them want to look forward to the future. You can tell something is happening," explains Jürgen Knappstein, Sales Manager EGH North. "In terms of products, too, we are focusing more and more on future-oriented markets and also paying attention to topics such as intelligent control and sustainability," adds Benjamin Hennes, Head of Product Management. This positive mood whets the appetite for upcoming projects and shows: Brumberg is a force to be reckoned with.
The foals in the light of Brumberg.
Brumberg is the proud lighting partner of Borussia Mönchengladbach. We exclusively provide the right lighting for Borussia Park and the neighbouring Borussia-8-Grad building complex.
Sustainability at Brumberg.
As a Sauerland company, Brumberg takes responsibility for the environment. For us, the forest is a place of fascination, inspiration and retreat. That is why we are neutralising the CO2 footprint of the recently published main catalogue by planting more than 80 deciduous trees.
