Our IT centre is opened

The official programme was opened by a 34-member company choir from Germany – S&B Voices, which celebrates its 110^th anniversary this year. Then Ján Krúpa, Managing Director of Scheidt & Bachmann Slovensko, took the stage and welcomed the distinguished guests and Slovak employees. He invited Dr. Miller to the podium, who cut the ceremonial white ribbon and addressed all the participants. As always, he was positive and transferred his energy to the whole hall. His 100-slide presentation, in which he summarized the entire history of the Slovak branch and highlighted the work of all its teams, took only a few dozen minutes thanks to his relaxed style. His performance was applauded by the employees with a long applause and another one followed the performance of S&B Voices. The company choir together with 12 Slovak colleagues sang 3 songs – one in English Rockin' All Over the World (Status Quo), one in German Auf uns (Andreas Bourani) and even a Slovak folk song Tancuj, tancuj. The whole hall sang and clapped along, so the choir could not leave the stage without an encore.

While the atrium was being transformed into a dance floor, everyone was invited to dinner, which was served in the former warehouse. This was transformed into a spacious catering area, which was also brimming with traditional Slovak food and drinks. There was something for everyone. Participants could also taste delicious Ethiopian coffee roasted in Slovakia or take a souvenir photo in the photo booth.

An hour later, the Slovak All Stars Band invited everyone to the dance floor. They played the biggest Slovak and world hits. The German male colleagues danced with the Slovak female colleagues and the Slovak male colleagues danced with the German female colleagues. When the band was not playing, the DJ took care of the entertainment. The mood was excellent, the energy electrifying, in short, a proper family party that everyone enjoyed. At 10 pm the event was supposed to end, but nobody wanted to go home yet, including the management, who unanimously agreed to extend the event (at least for an hour).

It was a great event, but it could not have happened without our team spirit! The management sincerely thanks everyone who was involved in organizing the event, and to everyone who participated. At the same time, they wish the employees who work in the new premises to feel comfortable there and to find space for the development of creativity.
