HerkulesGroup and Gontermann-Peipers Support the Kinderinsel of the DRK Children‘s Hospital in Siegen

"Tradition, consistency and community are the values that have brought us to where we are today. And we want to focus on these values more than ever!" Maximilian Thoma, CEO of the HerkulesGroup companies, a Siegerland-based family-owned business, looks back on a great year 2023 "We are successful – and this is what we would like to share!"

On September 22nd, hundreds of HerkulesGroup employees celebrated a jolly Oktoberfest at the Siegen site. As it has often been the case before, this event was a welcome opportunity to support a local project close to our hearts: As part of a raffle, the celebrating employees generated a considerable amount of 2,640 euros, for the benefit of the Kinderinsel at the DRK children's hospital. But it was not only the employees from the Siegen site who contributed to the enormous amount of donations this year: Employees from all over Germany and the world who had traveled to the HerkulesGroup's Global Sales Meeting, were busy taking part at the raffle for a good cause! "The organization of the event is always an enormous team effort, but the enthusiasm of the participants and the touching willingness to donate are worth all of it. We are a great team!" explains Juliane Knuff, Event Manager at HerkulesGroup.
