+ Representations

The Böllhoff Group corporate identity is built on 130 years of operating as an independent family business. This independence will also set the pace for the future development of the company. Experience builds trust. Three generations of the Böllhoff family have continued to build on the success of the company's founder. The next generation is the future.

People are our most precious resources. Our mission is to ensure the continuing success of the Böllhoff Group into the future through the efforts of everyone working in the Group.

This is the reason why our core objectives include not only general business aims but also a commitment to developing a skilled, highly motivated workforce and a trustful, productive environment which is a pleasure to work in.

Skilled, qualified and motivated employees are vital to the competitiveness and success of a business enterprise. Companies who want the very best from their employees must invest in the continuing education of their personnel. Put briefly, continuing education is a vital tool in ensuring the long term success of the company.

On 23 July 2011 the 2011 works outing kicked off in two groups. In the first, four coaches set off for the Veltins-Arena stadium, where a visit to the museum had been scheduled. For around an hour both young and old learned all about the history of the football club FC Schalke 04. Next on the agenda was a trip to Gelsenkirchen's zoo – the so-called "ZOOM-Erlebniswelt". The six other coaches in the second group had meanwhile gone there direct.
The zoo is made up of the Alaska, Africa and Asia worlds of adventure. This means visitors can go round the world in a single day – so living up to ZOOM's motto.
Each of the three areas has its own special highlights, be it a boot trip in Africa, the underwater tunnel in Alaska or the Tropical Paradise in Asia. But that's not all: the animal enclosures were also quite something in terms of size and facilities. And the weather smiled on us until our return: it did not start to rain until the coaches headed off home.

Also in 2009 the traditional Christmas market in the barn had the motto “something hot and something cold”.
Freezing winterly temperatures created the seasonal atmosphere for the market and made sure that a hot drink was just the right thing to warm up hands and heart.
This inspired many of our employees to use the pre-Christmas get-together to end the year 2009 on a happy note with mulled wine and bratwurst.

The Family Day 2008 will be a works outing. On 16 August 2008 all our employees and their families are invited to the Serengeti Park, Hodenhagen.

The 130-year anniversary of the Böllhoff Group was celebrated with a Family Day at the Bielefeld site on 18 September 2007.

In 2007 the shareholders, advisory committee and top management of the Böllhoff Group decided that a share of profits should go towards financing a company retirement fund established for the benefit of the employees of Böllhoff Group Germany.

Our objectives:

• Create motivation because motivated employees are vital to company success.
• Create sources of motivation for all employees.
• Encourage employees to invest in their company retirement fund.
• Make the company attractive for job applicants.

Our employees benefit from the success of the Böllhoff Group and thereby invest in their personal retirement fund.
