Review of the 75th anniversary celebrations of Ridder GmbH
On 8 June 2024, RIDDER celebrated its 75th anniversary and looked back on an eventful and successful history. The celebrations began in the morning with guests from politics and business.
Our management opened the day with a speech about the origins and development of RIDDER. The milestones in the company's history were highlighted. Afterwards, some of our guests honoured us with words and awards, including Singhofen's mayor Mr. Detlef Paul, Mr. Richard Hover from the Chamber of Industry and Commerce and Mr. Matthias Lammert - Member of the Rhineland-Palatinate State Parliament. They emphasised the importance of Ridder GmbH as a reliable partner in the region and paid tribute to our commitment and innovative strength.
After the speeches, the guests were given an exclusive tour of our premises. Here they were able to take a look behind the scenes and be impressed by our modern infrastructure and production processes.
From noon, we opened our doors to local residents, former employees, friends and all interested parties for an open day. Visitors had the opportunity to take part in guided tours or chat to our employees while enjoying sunshine, bratwurst and cool drinks in our garden. The children in particular got their money's worth and enjoyed the large bouncy castle, which provided lots of fun and good humour.
In the evening, we had a private celebration. Together with our employees, their partners, close business partners and friends, we rounded off the day with live music and a delicious buffet. It was a wonderful end to a memorable day, during which both new and old friendships were cultivated.
Once again, we would like to thank all 500 guests who made this day so special. We would also like to thank our dedicated employees, loyal business partners, the butcher's shop Lenz from Singhofen, photographer Horst Bauer from Koblenz, Ania and the band and everyone else who supported us in organising and realising the party.
The proceeds of the day went 100% to the DRK (German Red Cross) Ortsverein Singhofen e.V., whom we would also like to thank for their valuable work. We were able to welcome Dr. Hans Jäger and Mr. Dominik Klos to our premises just a few days later for the official handover of the donations.
We look forward to many more successful years and to continuing to be a reliable partner for our customers and the community in the future.
