WIESHEU News 2 2010
Dear Customers, Partners and Friends of WIESHEU, Dear Employees,
even if at the end of 2009 we were already cautiously optimistic about the prospects for 2010, after the first quarter of 2010 we are still surprised how clearly we have exceeded the previous year’s figures and have exceeded our expected turnover. We have produced the best 1. quarter in the history of the company. The orders placed for the coming months are also very promising.
It is particularly gratifying here that these good results could be achieved both with new medium-sized customers as well as with a broad increase in the business activities of our long-standing customers. This is certainly a good economic signal.
Our branches in Poland and Turkey had a lot to do with this. Our friends and colleagues in the Polish branch are celebrating their second anniversary. In Turkey we can look back over a very successful year in building up the business. We are very grateful for the magnificent support from these two companies and we wish our colleagues there every success for the future, with all our heart.
The prerequisite for achieving increases in turnover like this was a detailed production plan and the maximum possible flexibility across all areas of the company and, above all, the very strong commitment shown by our colleagues. Many thanks to our works council, which was recently elected for another five years, for its good work and for its cooperation in matters concerning human resources. Without their cooperation, the necessary flexibility would not have been possible.
In doing this, we have managed to keep a clear view, or at least that is what the TÜV certified during the renewed, very successful audit of our ISO 9001 certification in Affalterbach and Wolfen.
Many thanks to our customers, suppliers and colleagues who made this excellent quarterly result possible.
A functioning service network is also a basis for a successful relationship with customers. In March this year our service partners from all over Germany accepted an invitation to this year’s service partner conference to discuss innovations in our products and procedures. For everyone involved, this was a successful and very fruitful event. At this point, I would like to thank our service partners for competently representing the WIESHEU brand at such a very high and sophisticated level.
Both sites and the branch offices are developing in the right direction as far as both turnover and procedures are concerned. The necessity to further slim down procedures and to again clearly increase efficiency results from an increasing concentration to do so on the customers’ side and from the increasing competitive pressure, especially in our international business, which is of ever increasing importance.
To secure and extend our competitive position, we are investing undiminished large sums at both sites in staff, machines and the continuing development of our products.
I hope that you enjoy reading this current issue, and I wish you lots of luck and success in everything you have to do.
Best regards,
Dieter Tacke
