KLEEMANN feiert 40 Jahre mit Jubiläumsveranstaltung.

KLEEMANN, das sich seit seiner Gründung im Jahr 1983 durch Nikolaos K. Koukountzos zu einem globalen Aufzugsliefer- und -vertragsunternehmen entwickelt hat, feierte am 40. September sein 6-jähriges Jubiläum mit einer Reihe von Veranstaltungen in seinem Werk in Kilkis, Griechenland, und in Thessaloniki. 

More than 250 guests from around the world, along with representatives from the business community and Greek government, arrived in Thessaloniki on September 5 for KLEEMANN's 40th anniversary. As previously planned, the guests were picked up from the airport and taken to the Thessaloniki Hyatt Regency Hotel, where they attended a barbecue party held at the hotel for dinner.  

On the morning of September 6, the group departed from the hotel and reached KLEEMANN's factory located in the Kilkis Industrial Area. The factory event started with the welcoming of the guests in separate groups. Then, the production facilities and test tower were toured by the guests, who were also given a history of the factory. 

During the tour, KLEEMANN unveiled Digital Spot, which showcased Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, including KLEEMANN Live and Smart Functions, introducing the visitors to KLEEMANN’s digital tools. Moreover, guests had the opportunity to visit the renovated showroom that features new elevator cabin materials and the latest cabin series. The product range, the bench and the robots used for production were also introduced. In addition, the new 360° Factory Tour VR (virtual reality) provided a guided tour of KLEEMANN's production facilities in Greece, Serbia and China.

Following the factory tour, guests rested with cocktails and coffee. After, Ioannis Sanidiotis, general manager of KLEEMANN Elevators, and Georgios Moschovakis, Group Commercial director, addressed the guests. They thanked them for their participation in the annual event and provided information about the history of KLEEMANN elevators and facilities. After the speeches and lunch served at KLEEMANN's Kilkis facilities, the guests returned to the hotel by bus.

Nachdem sie am Nachmittag die Stadt besucht und sich im Hotel ausgeruht hatten, versammelten sich die Gäste im Hyatt Regency Hotel zur Feier zum 40-jährigen Jubiläum und zum Abendessen. Nach dem Begrüßungscocktail hielt Sanidiotis eine kurze Rede über die Feier. Anschließend hielt der Vertreter des griechischen Handelsministeriums und des Präsidenten der European Elevator Association (ELA), Roberto Zappa, Reden. 

After Zappa's speech, Nikos Koukountzos, Kostas Koukountzos and Christina Koukountzos took to the podium and talked about what has been experienced and done since the establishment of the company and the opening of the factory, as well as their future plans. There were emotional moments in the speeches where photos of the first factory on groundbreaking day were shared, and the early days were described. 

Als Frau Koukountzos ihren Vater, Nikolaos Koukountzos, den Gründer von KLEEMANN Elevator, auf die Bühne einlud und er eine kurze Rede hielt, waren alle im Saal voller Emotionen. Die Gäste, die beim Essen die Aromen der einzigartigen griechischen Küche erlebten, hatten auch die Möglichkeit, lokale Musik zu erleben.
