SCHUNK cel­e­brates Fam­i­ly Day

Good things are hap­pen­ing: Fam­i­ly Day at SCHUNK pro­vid­ed excit­ing insights into the world of employ­ees.

The SCHUNK Fam­i­ly Day took place on Sat­ur­day, July 9, 2022. At both loca­tions in Lauf­fen and Hausen, SCHUNK employ­ees invit­ed their fam­i­lies and close rel­a­tives to expe­ri­ence pro­duc­tion, prod­ucts and the company’s own train­ing cen­ter up close.

“I can final­ly show my fam­i­ly where I spend my time every day.”

Inter­est­ing insights

On well-sign­post­ed tours equipped with many explana­to­ry sta­tions, approx­i­mate­ly 3,500 vis­i­tors were able to gain an impres­sion of their rel­a­tives‘ work­ing world in the exten­sive plant and pro­duc­tion halls. “From the office to man­u­fac­tur­ing, we saw it all. It was mega inter­est­ing,” one vis­i­tor told us. “I can final­ly show my fam­i­ly where I spend my time every day,” said one employ­ee.

Fun and games for the lit­tle ones

In addi­tion to infor­ma­tive tours, there was also plen­ty of fun to be had. This was ensured by a var­ied sup­port­ing pro­gram. There were plen­ty of excit­ing attrac­tions for guests both young and old – includ­ing an elec­tric surf­board, two boun­cy cas­tles, and a mechan­i­cal bull. A spe­cial high­light for the lit­tle ones was the fork­lift course, which took quite a bit of skill and was pop­u­lar with every­one. Food and drink were also well tak­en care of: a diverse selec­tion of dish­es and cool bev­er­ages was avail­able from numer­ous food trucks. With sum­mer-like tem­per­a­tures, the ice cream was par­tic­u­lar­ly well received not only with the lit­tle ones. The atmos­phere was relaxed and famil­iar and char­ac­ter­ized by great team spir­it. “We are a very big fam­i­ly,” said one vis­i­tor. Kristi­na I. Schunk is also proud: “You could feel the spe­cial SCHUNK spir­it and enthu­si­asm all day long.”
