Werner Gunz set a very special sign of solidarity with a farewell investment. A sum of 500,000 euros was handed over to charitable associations and organisations in Vorarlberg. 

The newspaper report published on 10 December in the Vorarlberger Nachrichten, with many details, can be read here:

10.12.2020

After 24 years of self-employment, Werner Gunz retires from working life on his 60th birthday. Under his leadership, the company has developed from a two-man business into a globally active enterprise. Profit maximisation always remained a foreign word. The focus was on values such as solidarity, flexibility, sustainability and the common good. They became the basis for a success story that is told in this book. 60 thoughts and anecdotes to reflect on, compare and sometimes smile about. It is not a textbook or a biography, but rather a loose collection of experiences that have come together in the last 60 years of Werner Gunz's private and professional life.

The book is available in German and English on request at office@gunz.cc

The four forklifts that we ordered last year were delivered to the Mäder warehouse last week. They replace the existing forklifts that are getting old. The new tools are equipped with the latest lithium-ion battery technology and can now be charged during the day, which was not possible with the old technology. This means that the forklift can be used for a whole working day without the battery running out. The charging time is also reduced from around 8-10 hours to 2-2.5 hours.
Another big advantage is the lower energy consumption. Each new forklift saves around 5,000 kWh of electricity per year. This roughly corresponds to an average four-person household!
We wish our colleagues in the warehouse a lot of fun with the new reach trucks!

03.06.2020

Our customer regularly publishes a manual catalog with and on a wide variety of topics of the year. Here you can see on these pictures e.g. Fairtrade, Easter, Mozart, fan food, Grazioso ...

We received a very nice gesture of thanks from the Mäder school home (all-day school and therapy center for children with disabilities) as part of the farewell from Werner Gunz for the years of support. A child from the school home painted this beautiful lighthouse on canvas. A moment with a moving gesture that we would like to share - many thanks to the Schulheim Mäder for the long-term friendship!

Everyone says that after Corona many things will not be as they used to be. This statement is correct, but Corona-changes can also have positive impact.

When the pandemic and government regulations began, we decided that my son Stefan Gunz and my son-in-law Michael Temel would guide our company through the Corona-time. I was sent to do „home office“.

The last weeks showed, that Stefan and Michael grew confidently and were up to the task. They were happy to walk the path alone with our employees and leaded our company through the Corona-crisis.

I am proud of my two successors.
We decided as a family, to officially hand over the operational business to Stefan and Michael from now.

For my companions - Customers, Suppliers and Friends - I am currently preparing a gift as thank you: The development of our company, in book form. The story of how it all began 24 years ago as a "two-man-company" and was developed in a global company with a turnover of 150 million euros. I will publish it as a book on November 10, 2020 when I finally leave. I do not focus on facts and figures, but on the values of our family.

However, I do not completely retire. Although my original life plan looked like this as from November 10, 2020, it is now different. Our company will survive the Corona-crisis with manageable changes, that’s why I can take intensive care of my "second company" in the next phase. I have long been in management positions at the Austrian Bundesliga soccer club "SCR Altach". In the future, I will contribute intensively in the operational area.

I would like to thank you all for taking the path together. My son Stefan and son-in-law Michael are already looking forward to a positive business partnership with you, as I was able to experience.

With best regards,
Werner Gunz

My new place of work at SCR Altach.

Since 2018, we have been a partner of the climate neutrality alliance Klimaneutralitätsbündnis 2025 (turn to zero) and have been certified as a climate-neutral business location.

As in the previous year, our CO2 emissions of 1,000 tonnes for our branches in Austria, Germany and Switzerland have been offset by CO2 emissions allowances from a climate protection aid project in Ethiopia.
This aid project is a full-service package for around 5,000 households in eight Ethiopian communities.
The total package for each household includes two efficient cooking stoves, vegetable seeds plus training in growing vegetables, tree seedlings plus reforestation projects, a solar-powered lighting source and WADI drinking water treatment which is powered by the sun.
The aim of the project is to improve the lives of people locally.

Our contribution has helped 350 households! We are very proud to be part of this great project.
