Together, they can look back on a total of 495 years of service - the 44 employees of the Munk Group who have been with the company for between five and 35 years.   The management of the access equipment specialist recently honoured the many years of dedication and loyalty of its employees at a festive celebration and expressed its great appreciation. This festive occasion is firmly anchored in the Munk Group's annual calendar.

"The dedicated work of our loyal employees has shaped and advanced the Munk Group and made a decisive contribution to where we are today," said Managing Director Ferdinand Munk during the ceremony. He emphasised that the strong team spirit of the employees, who all pull together, is an important factor in the success of the Munk Group.

As part of the anniversary celebrations, the management of the "Bavaria's Best 50" company also took stock of the year that is drawing to a close. The access equipment specialists of the Munk Group can once again look back on successful months with an increase in turnover, growth in qualified jobs and expansion of their market position as a technology and innovation leader in access equipment. Numerous product innovations such as the first stepladder made in Germany from glass fibre-reinforced plastic and scaffolding with safety railings are helping to buck the trend of a generally worsening economic situation. Conversion measures are currently underway at the home site in Donauried in Günzburg, which will further optimise processes and operating procedures following the expansion of operations in the last two years and allow the Munk Group to look forward to the new year with a good order situation.
