2 year birthday

On the 1st of May 2023, we could celebrate the second anniversary of the move of approx. 20 machines, 16 journeymen and 4 apprentices from Grundfos' AME machine department in Bjerringbro to Unika in Ans.

The celebration was planned by the collaboration committee to take place on the 4th of May and invitations were sent out to employees at Grundfos AME and to employees in Unika's tool department.

The day of celebration, was opened with a speech from Steen Johansen, in which he described the emotions that are  when you have to move people, especially for employees who could write up to 40 years on their CV at Grundfos.

Although it was quite a task, luckily things quickly calmed down.

The information about entering into the partnership agreement was sent out at the beginning of February 2021 and the actual move started on 1st of May 2021 and went really well. "Everyone was up to speed", as Steen says, which contributed to the fact that we were already in place after 2 ½ months and the new machines were up and running. It was a kind of a Tetris game to make the redevelopment, expansion and relocation work, but with the help of the employees' benevolent efforts and a healthy manager-cooperation, it all succeeded.

After the speech, the guests were given the freedom to visit both departments. A tent had been set up for the invited guests from where some light food was served after they had toured the company's two departments.

It became a good day - thanks for the visit.
