875 years of commitment and loyalty: Scheurich celebrates its anniversaries

Kleinheubach. When 34 employees celebrating their anniversaries can look back on a combined total of 875 years of service, it is more than just a number – it is a living piece of company history. On 17 October 2025, this very chapter was celebrated in the charming atmosphere of the Wengerter wine tavern in Röllfeld: Scheurich honoured its long-standing employees with a celebration that was as appreciative and heartfelt as the people it was about.

From 15 to 40 years – a journey through time and commitment

Whether 15, 20, 25, 30 or an impressive 40 years – the jubilarians have not only invested their time, but also their ideas, passion and a great deal of team spirit. Together, they have shaped, supported and developed the company. Their stories are as diverse as the years they have spent at Scheurich – and this is exactly what was celebrated and highlighted by the management and respective executives in their speeches: ‘Long-standing colleagues are the heart of every company and the basis for its success and stability. It is no longer a matter of course that people remain loyal to their company for so many years,’ emphasised Scheurich Managing Director Björn Hansen.

Three cheers for the next generation – and for a well-deserved retirement

Two trainees successfully passed their exams – a moment that shows that the future is just as promising as the past. At the same time, two colleagues retired – with applause, thanks and a wink towards the end of the working day.

Between delicious food and good conversation, there was laughter, reminiscing and looking to the future. This celebration was more than just an event. It was a statement: for togetherness and cohesion, for recognition and for the people who make Scheurich the company it is.

Ceremonial honouring of employees

Kleinheubach. Long-standing colleagues and deserving retirees took centre stage at the anniversary celebration on 11 October 2024. This heartfelt event at the Paradeismühle Röllfeld provided a fitting setting for those who have dedicated themselves to Scheurich over many years.

The outstanding achievements and commitment of the 22 honourees were recognised in a series of celebratory speeches. The management emphasised their long-standing loyalty, the importance of their tremendous work ethic and the significant contribution each individual has made to the success of the company.

The formal honours for 10, 20, 25, 30 and 35 years of service were followed by the social part of the evening. In a cosy atmosphere, old friendships were cultivated and new connections made while celebrating the successes and experiences of those celebrating their anniversaries. At Scheurich, we are proud of our dedicated employees and trainees.

Events like this are not only an opportunity to express gratitude, but also a reminder that the commitment and loyalty of our employees form the basis for the success of a company.

Successful tree planting campaign

More than 100,000 trees planted

With the “1 pot = 1 tree” campaign, Scheurich and many plant fans have set an example since its launch in 2022: Already 101,565 trees (as of 28/02/2023) have been planted with the purchase of planters from the Groove, Groove+, Purista and Purista+ series by the non-profit organisation Eden Reforestation.

Scheurich takes this impressive number as an opportunity to say thank you to all customers and to once again draw attention to this sustainable campaign. Every additional tree counts! Those who say yes to the green lifestyle can continue to do good with the campaign “1 pot = 1 tree”, because trees and forests are the basis of life and essential for climate protection.

Every purchase of the Groove, Groove+, Purista and Purista+ series in the sizes 30 and 40 cm ensures that a tree is planted for reforestation and thus for the environment as well as for the future of our children. The indoor and outdoor vessels are made of Certuro plastic, which contains up to 98 percent recycled material. Certuro itself is 100 percent recyclable, comes with an 8-year guarantee and is Made in Germany. This is what responsible product design looks like today.

The online tree counter makes the action transparent. At www.scheurich.de/baum you can literally watch the trees grow and see your own contribution in black and white. With this in mind: Here’s to the next 100,000 trees!

Scheurich honours long-serving employees

After a two-year break due to corona, the management and works council of the Kleinheubach-based ceramics manufacturer Scheurich were particularly pleased to honour the long-standing commitment of their employees at a festive anniversary celebration at the end of the year.
In his speech, Peter Baumann, shareholder and chairman of the advisory board, said that in 2020, 2021 and 2022 the company could look back on a total of 93 employees who had been with the company for an incredible 1040 years. Together with the managing directors Ralf Rammo, Björn Hansen and Marcus Grothaus, he acknowledged the commitment of the motivated employees and thanked them for their dedication and loyalty to the company with a certificate and a gift.

The guests finished the evening in a cheerful atmosphere and smiled about many anecdotes from the past years. No wonder, when colleagues are celebrating together who have been working for the company for 10, 20, 25, 30, 35 and even 40 years. The jubilarians honoured for 25 and 40 years were captured in the photo as representatives of all of them.

In spring 2023, there will be another celebration for all colleagues who have taken their well-deserved retirement in the past three years.
