Once again this year, social institutions in the "Kummenberg region" (Vorarlberg, AT) received support from our company's social fund.
This fund is endowed with € 100,000 per year and is intended to help our employees and their families in times of need. If our employees do not make full use of this fund, we are happy to pass the money on to social institutions or to people in our region who have been hit by fate. 
For many years we have also supported the Mäder school home (all-day school and therapy centre for children with disabilities) for their exemplary work. This year we are supporting this social institution with 40,000 euros.

A few weeks ago, the non-profit organisation "Licht ins Dunkel" thanked us for our social commitment with a certificate and award. We would like to take this opportunity to thank them once again!

A few weeks ago, a truck from far away came to us to load goods: namely from Kish Island, 5,800 kilometres away. The island is located in the south of Iran and is considered the tourist paradise of the Arab countries. Our customer sells our products in his shops in various shopping centres, as well as very strongly in his online shop. The driver of the truck was on the road for about 12 days for his load!

We would like to thank our employees for every single contribution that led to this excellent result. Special thanks go to our quality assurance team for their perfect work on this topic!

At the beginning of October, it was still possible for us to be represented with a stand at one of the most important trade fairs in the food industry, the Anuga in Cologne. This trade fair visit was the first for our export department in about 1.5 years! We are very satisfied with the outcome of the fair, as our stand was very well frequented and we were able to establish many contacts in addition to important discussions with existing business partners. Thank you for the numerous visits! Many thanks also to our terrific trade fair team - you have done a remarkable job!

We have been supporting the Austrian aid organisation Licht ins Dunkel for many years. At the end of October at a special event: The 24-hour bike challenge with the motto "Every ride is a good deed" - 9 federal states, 9 days, 9 teams. Numerous celebrities cycled for the benefit of people with disabilities and families and children in need. We supported Team Vorarlberg as "Team Sponsor Vorarlberg". Every kilometre "cycled" was converted into a donation. In the finals, which will take place at the end of November, the three provinces with the most kilometres will compete. We are happy to be able to participate in such an effective campaign together with all the other federal states!

Being able to recall stored knowledge in emergency situations can save lives! At our Magdeburg branch, everything revolved around the topic of fire and fire protection at the end of August. In order to be best prepared in possible emergency situations, an intensive fire safety exercise took place for our colleagues on site. We would like to thank all our colleagues in Magdeburg for their interest and participation! 

29.9.2021

We were able to say goodbye to our long-time employee at our Magdeburg branch, Martin Brunner (on the left in the picture). Our warehouse manager of the Magdeburg site, Alex Weise (right in the picture), thanked him on behalf of the management with best wishes and a gift.

The number of electric cars on our roads is steadily increasing. We also want to face up to this issue. Better and better vehicles are coming onto the market and the charging infrastructure is constantly being expanded.

Does the topic of e-mobility, which is fraught with a great deal of prejudice, also work in the field?
For this reason, about a year ago we ordered the first affordable vehicle that was suitable for field service: a Skoda Enyaq iV 80 with a stated range of 520 km. The vehicle was delivered in spring and has since been in our long-term test. In the meantime, we have been able to gain experience from the first 10,000 test kilometres and many advantages have been demonstrated!

90% of the daily tours are accomplished without intermediate charging. The basic prerequisite for this is that a charging facility is available at home so that the battery can be started with a full charge in the morning. However, if a recharge is necessary, it only takes a few minutes per additional 100 km at a fast charging station. 
In fact, 400 to 500 km can be achieved with one charge. But only if the top speed is not above 120 to 130 km/h. When driving faster, it is the same as with the combustion engine, that the consumption increases and the range decreases.
Another advantage, which we would not have expected, is an almost stress-free driving: By driving slower and with more foresight, you can reach your destination in a relaxed manner. The almost silent driving also contributes to this. In addition, traffic safety increases massively, because you are simply not driving too fast! At the end of the day, you are much less tired and stressed.

In summary, it can already be said that e-mobility in the field is feasible for frequent drivers. But we will continue testing and it remains exciting how this test will turn out!

As part of the Vorarlberg Future Day "Ich geh mit" (I'll go with you), we welcomed three young people to our company in Mäder for a whole day last summer. This day is initiated by the province of Vorarlberg and invites companies to introduce young people from relatives or acquaintances to „real“ working life. The aim is for the young people to gain as many different impressions as possible in order to create an important building block for a later career decision. All of them must have achieved this goal, because all three of them really enjoyed working in the office, warehouse and shop areas and were able to take away a lot of knowledge and impressions. At the end of the day, the young trial candidates were very happy about the successful day and the Gunz-“ich-geh-mit“ certificate.

In the summer, one of our team meetings of the field service team France could finally take place again. Taking into account the Corona guidelines, our colleagues met in Paris to discuss the half-year review and the outlook. These were very successful team days! Many thanks to all involved!

By consistently separating and collecting recyclable materials at our branch in Magdeburg, we once again made our best possible contribution to the sustainable use of raw materials last year. For this, we were awarded this certificate by the recycling specialist interseroh zero waste solutions (part of the international ALBA Group). Dear colleagues in Magdeburg, thank you for your commitment!

A few months ago, we broke a very important record in Italy with a monthly delivery of one million cans of "Bad Dog".

Thanks to all involved!

Since the beginning of this year, we have been working more closely with the Magdeburg Inter-Company Training Centre (ÜAZ). The ÜAZ accompanies young people through an extracurricular school-leaving qualification to a vocational qualification or permanent employment. For this purpose, companies are being sought for internships and practical training. 
We are very happy that we now employ our first trainee, Egor Degen, on a permanent basis through this project. Welcome to the team, Egor! 
Currently Dustin Mattern is with us as part of the internship to get to know our warehouse activities in the Magdeburg branch. We are looking forward to further cooperation with the ÜAZ in the future!

Thanks to all who visited us on site and a big praise to our Gunz Eurasia team!

The name of the prominent TV and FC Bayern Munich chef - Alfons Schuhbeck - should be familiar to anyone who knows anything about cuisine or football.

Thanks to our Schuhbeck's FCB Power Muesli, hopefully the majority of your customers will soon be able to enjoy a "Schuhbeck" at home!
Because, after our latest Gunz test, everyone is convinced:
We tested the use of the muesli especially for our customers and the varied result is something to be proud of. Colleagues from the Gunz team have been infected by Schubeck's creativity and have conjured up everyday delicacies with the muesli mix. 

You can download all the recipes and photos of our "fun project" here:

The expansion of the photovoltaic system in Mäder was completed at the beginning of March.
The output was increased from 100kWp to 170kWp. This enables us to generate about 50 % of the electricity consumption at the Mäder site ourselves.
The total output of the plant comparatively covers the consumption of 35 single-family homes.

We are delighted to have a particularly media-savvy new customer from Iraq who is successfully raising awareness of our three varieties of Gina Originale iced coffees and has therefore already ordered several truckloads in the meantime. In various video spots, they rely on the name recognition of their model: a well-known influencer in social media channels. In addition to this, the client makes very high-quality photo shoots in which the iced coffee cups shine magnificently. 

Thank you once again for the photo and film material and the magnificent staging of the Gina Originale iced coffees in cappuccino, latte macchiato and vanilla!

In order to keep the risk of infection as low as possible and to filter out people with asymptomatic disease, testing in many countries is currently more than ever the focus of this pandemic. We have decided to offer our employees at the Mäder and Magdeburg sites the possibility of weekly free tests. Without further ado, we have transformed our fitness room in Mäder into a Corona "test lane" (see photos). Currently, we offer our employees from administration, warehouse and packaging to be tested three times a week. We currently carry out about 500 antigen tests per week!

For many years we have been supporting the school home in the home village of our main location Mäder with annual donations. Shortly before Christmas we were pleased to receive a very special gift as a thank you!
Mr. Arnt Buchwald, Managing Director of the school home in Mäder, presented us with a very creatively designed cake with loving details to celebrate Werner Gunz's 60th birthday. The cake was a thank you to say goodbye to Werner and the details on it represented his life from the perspective of the school home.
Many thanks again to Mr. Buchwald, his staff and all the children of the school for this very nice expression of appreciation!

5.1.2021

At the end of last year, we had the pleasure of celebrating a particularly large number of anniversaries among our employees. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, we were not able to honour our employees in a proper setting.
Previously, our jubilarians would join our managing directors on a large stage to be thanked and presented with a thank-you gift. It is such a pity that we have to do it without this event and this grandiose group photo, which would certainly have been taken.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our 2020 jubilarians once again!
