Mai 2022<\/span><span class=\"text\"><span style=\"max-height:3.63em\" class=\"line_limit\">In spite of the difficult market conditions of the last two years, MOLL Automatisierung GmbH keeps on growing.\nA large order from Swedish automotive manufacturer VOLVO is raising the order level to date to a very new level again.\nThe managing directors of Moll Automatisierung, Stefan Bauer and Thomas Wittmann, are extremely happy about the manner in which the company was able to master the coronavirus crisis. In spite of delivery bottlenecks, relocation of workplaces to the home, and high sick rates due to quarantine measures, the specialist for chassis installations and automation solutions was able to keep its annual turnover stably at about 90 million euros. While many companies from the industry introduced short working hours or had to lay off employees, MOLL continued to work at full utilisation throughout the crisis period. At the moment, the company is once again intensely looking for specialists in the area of machining, assembly management, and trainees in all specialisations in order to be ready to face future challenges as well.\nStarting into a new dimension of large projects\nMOLL Automatisierung is one of the top-5 suppliers worldwide for chassis installations. It counts renowned automotive manufacturers such as BMW, Audi, VW, Porsche, Daimler, and VOLVO among its customers. At a volume of 34 M euros, its current VOLVO order is not only the largest one MOLL has received in its corporate history so far \u2013 it also pushes the company into an entirely new size dimension.\nThe medium-sized company headquartered in Lower Bavarian Leiblfing has consistently earned its way there. For a period of more than a decade, high quality and reliable deliveries served to build a mutually valuing, committed customer-supplier relationship with VOLVO. After many preliminary talks, the tendering and awarding procedure of six months finally established the confidence that MOLL had the experience and the technical prerequisites for mastering a project of this size.Core parts of the order include delivery of a production line comprising a thruster platform line with a length of 220 m. A total of 8,000 square metres of steel platform are installed and 177 thruster platforms are set into motion for this.\nThe mammoth project started in April 2022, and the delivery went to VOLVO\u2019s main plant in G\u00f6teborg\/Sweden, where mainly the larger vehicle types, and in particular the XC90 flagship are being produced. The greatest challenge surely is in the project\u2019s narrow timeline; additionally, there are continued sustained delivery issues on the global raw materials market. Nevertheless, MOLL Automatisierung started into this project with great enthusiasm \u2013 all the more since the highly professional processing is to serve as a recommendation for the company as a supplier for large projects of this calibre world-wide and to specifically acquire VOLVO as a customer for long-term cooperation in its plants in Europe and the USA.\nExpansion of the building and IT infrastructure    \nIn order to be able to provide the capacities required for orders of this size, the company increased its employee number by 15 to 255 in 2018, confirming its role as one of the most important employers in the Straubing-Bogen district. The machinery was also expanded in quality and quantity alike with further milling and turning machines quantitative and the in-house IT infrastructure was equipped with the latest soft- and hardware. Further investments were made in the building infrastructure. March 2022 saw the start of construction of an additional 70 parking spaces with charging stations for E-vehicles on the company premises.\nNot least due to the comprehensive investments, managing director Stefan Bauer considers the company perfectly equipped for the future. \u201cWe are excited to watch in particular the developments in the area of E-mobility. Investments of vehicle manufacturers have greatly increased here in spite of the currently uncertain economic situation. As a member of ROFA group, we are prepared very well for this. Our broad technology range enables us to develop solution that support the current change in the automotive industry in a customised manner.\u201d\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFigure: Sample figure thruster platform lines<\/span><span style=\"margin-left:3px; max-height:3.63em\" class=\"line_limit\"> [...]<\/span><\/span><span class=\"custom_fields\">\n<!-- WPLP Unknown field: Custom_Fields -->\n<\/span><\/div><\/div><div id=\"wplp_box_left_524_1103\" class=\"wpcu-front-box left wpcu-custom-position\"><div class=\"wplp-box-item\"><\/div><\/div><div id=\"wplp_box_right_524_1103\" class=\"wpcu-front-box right wpcu-custom-position\"><div class=\"wplp-box-item\"><\/div><\/div><div id=\"wplp_box_bottom_524_1103\" class=\"wpcu-front-box bottom \"><div class=\"wplp-box-item\"><span class=\"dfreadmore\">\n<!-- WPLP Unknown field: dfReadMore -->\n<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/li><li id=\"wplp_li_524_1058\" data-post=\"1058\" class=\"postno_3 masonry li-item-id blog_id_4\" style=\"\"><div class=\"insideframe\"><div id=\"wplp_box_top_524_1058\" class=\"wpcu-front-box top equalHeightImg\"><div class=\"wplp-box-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rofa-group.com\/moll\/en\/news-en\/performance-competition-of-german-crafts-moll-graduates-among-the-best-results\/\" class=\"thumbnail\"><span class=\"img_cropper\" style=\"max-width:100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rofa-group.com\/moll\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/Landessiegerfeier.jpg\" style=\"\" srcset=\"\" alt=\"Performance Competition of German Crafts \u2013 MOLL graduates among the best results\" class=\"wplp_thumb\"><\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rofa-group.com\/moll\/en\/news-en\/performance-competition-of-german-crafts-moll-graduates-among-the-best-results\/\" class=\"title\"><span style=\"height:4.05em\" class=\"line_limit\">Performance Competition of German Crafts \u2013 MOLL graduates among the best results<\/span><\/a><span class=\"date\">3.

Congratulations to the 100 best in Bavaria! We are proud of you! Bavaria is committed to its craft, which represents innovation and progress,\u201d he praised them. \u201cMaster craftspeople are at the very top of our economy, just as professors are. High-tech always depends on craft, and this branch of the economy needs to be valued.\u201d\nThe president of the Bayerischer Handwerkstag (BHT), Franz Xaver Peteranderl, particularly emphasised the special task for the state winners: \u201cCrafts are modern and innovative. We offer opportunities and careers. We are the likable economic power \u2018from next door\u2019. Carry this outwards and stay true to our branch of the economy.\u201d\nCraftsmanship is assessed by a specialist jury based on work samples or the journeyman\u2019s pieces in this four-level competition. The festive framework for the laureates, their trainers, and their families in the Kongress am Park was supported by the \u201cCash-n-go\u201d acapella choir. Host Markus Othmer professionally led through the event with exuberant enthusiasm.\u00a0\nOrganisation manager Ulrich Wagner was visibly happy with being able to have the event at all. \u201cIt was a balancing act to design a high-quality event like this under the current coronavirus rules. We did our best to honour the young state winners\u2019 results accordingly.\u201d\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCaption: From the left: Stefan Gro\u00dfkopf (works council chairman), Christian Guba (department head of design), Stefan Bauer (managing director), Andreas Spitzer, Isabella Bachner (former trainees), Claudia Herrmann (HR), Thomas Wittmann (managing director), Florian Springe, and Michael Mohl (training manager, design)\nThe management of MOLL Automatisierung was particularly impressed by the outstanding examination results of its trainees.\u00a0Thomas Wittmann: \u201cWhen you hear about results like the ones achieved by Andreas Spitzer and Isabella Bachner, you\u2019re very proud, of course, and happy about the individual awards. The team in the background, the training managers, and the colleagues, also help make such top performance come about, however. We are very happy to have created an environment for our trainees where such awards can be acquired.\u201d\nIt is all the more pleasant to hear that both of them decided to stay with the company. Isabella will remain in the area of controlling and accounting, and Andreas in design. They are both already setting their eyes on the next challenges, planning to engage in extra-occupational further education in their respective fields!\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"margin-left:3px; max-height:3.63em\" class=\"line_limit\"> [...]<\/span><\/span><span class=\"custom_fields\">\n<!-- WPLP Unknown field: Custom_Fields -->\n<\/span><\/div><\/div><div id=\"wplp_box_left_524_1058\" class=\"wpcu-front-box left wpcu-custom-position\"><div class=\"wplp-box-item\"><\/div><\/div><div id=\"wplp_box_right_524_1058\" class=\"wpcu-front-box right wpcu-custom-position\"><div class=\"wplp-box-item\"><\/div><\/div><div id=\"wplp_box_bottom_524_1058\" class=\"wpcu-front-box bottom \"><div class=\"wplp-box-item\"><span class=\"dfreadmore\">\n<!-- WPLP Unknown field: dfReadMore -->\n<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/li><li id=\"wplp_li_524_1022\" data-post=\"1022\" class=\"postno_4 masonry li-item-id blog_id_4\" style=\"\"><div class=\"insideframe\"><div id=\"wplp_box_top_524_1022\" class=\"wpcu-front-box top equalHeightImg\"><div class=\"wplp-box-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rofa-group.com\/moll\/en\/news-en\/lower-bavaria-creates-a-future\/\" class=\"thumbnail\"><span class=\"img_cropper\" style=\"max-width:100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rofa-group.com\/moll\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/Ehrung_Firma_Moll.jpg\" style=\"\" srcset=\"\" alt=\"Lower Bavaria Creates a Future\" class=\"wplp_thumb\"><\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rofa-group.com\/moll\/en\/news-en\/lower-bavaria-creates-a-future\/\" class=\"title\"><span style=\"height:4.05em\" class=\"line_limit\">Lower Bavaria Creates a Future<\/span><\/a><span class=\"date\">18.

Many colleagues gladly accepted that offer.\nThe last three months already had a weekly quick-test offer for all employees in a dedicated test container. This preventive coronavirus protection measure was implemented in cooperation with the Dr\u00e4xlmaier pharmacy that took care of performing the tests and informing the people to be tested.\n\u201cOur gratitude goes to the entire team of the Dr\u00e4xlmaier pharmacy here. They have been supporting us for weeks in our test campaign and with the current digitalisation of vaccination documents. Without their help, measures like this, at this kind of speed and with such quality, would have been impossible. Thank you for this,\u201d says Stefan Bauer, managing director.<\/span><span style=\"margin-left:3px; max-height:3.63em\" class=\"line_limit\"> [...]<\/span><\/span><span class=\"custom_fields\">\n<!-- WPLP Unknown field: Custom_Fields -->\n<\/span><\/div><\/div><div id=\"wplp_box_left_524_943\" class=\"wpcu-front-box left wpcu-custom-position\"><div class=\"wplp-box-item\"><\/div><\/div><div id=\"wplp_box_right_524_943\" class=\"wpcu-front-box right wpcu-custom-position\"><div class=\"wplp-box-item\"><\/div><\/div><div id=\"wplp_box_bottom_524_943\" class=\"wpcu-front-box bottom \"><div class=\"wplp-box-item\"><span class=\"dfreadmore\">\n<!-- WPLP Unknown field: dfReadMore -->\n<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/li><li id=\"wplp_li_524_884\" data-post=\"884\" class=\"postno_7 masonry li-item-id blog_id_4\" style=\"\"><div class=\"insideframe\"><div id=\"wplp_box_top_524_884\" class=\"wpcu-front-box top equalHeightImg\"><div class=\"wplp-box-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rofa-group.com\/moll\/en\/news-en\/10-25-and-30-years-with-moll-automatisierung-gmbh-19-colleagues-are-celebrating-their-anniversaries\/\" class=\"thumbnail\"><span class=\"img_cropper\" style=\"max-width:100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rofa-group.com\/moll\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/moll-news-jubilare.jpg\" style=\"\" srcset=\"\" alt=\"10, 25, and 30 years with MOLL Automatisierung GmbH \u2013 19\u00a0colleagues are celebrating their anniversaries\" class=\"wplp_thumb\"><\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rofa-group.com\/moll\/en\/news-en\/10-25-and-30-years-with-moll-automatisierung-gmbh-19-colleagues-are-celebrating-their-anniversaries\/\" class=\"title\"><span style=\"height:4.05em\" class=\"line_limit\">10, 25, and 30 years with MOLL Automatisierung GmbH \u2013 19\u00a0colleagues are celebrating their anniversaries<\/span><\/a><span class=\"date\">18.

Juli 2020<\/span><span class=\"text\"><span style=\"max-height:3.63em\" class=\"line_limit\">Josef Moll handed over management of MOLL Automatisierung to his successors on 1 July 2020. As the new mayor of Leiblfing, he is going to focus on the welfare of his home municipality in future.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPicture: Josef Moll, former company owner and managing director of MOLL Automatisierung\n\t\tBack in 1985, the year in which a certain Boris Becker was the first German to win the tennis tournament of Wimbledon at the age of only 17, another young man from Lower Bavarian Leiblfing was about to soar high as well. Josef Moll preferred a torque wrench to a tennis racket, however.\nWith his competence in the craft, entrepreneurial courage, and unshakable self-confidence, he combined characteristics that were about perfect for building a company of his own. When he graduated from the master\u2019s school in Passau as Bavaria\u2019s youngest master mechanical engineer at the age of 20, he took over management of MOLL Maschinenbau in the early 1980s. At the time, the company had only four employees. MOLL was still developing and building agricultural machines at the time. It barely made ends meet. Young Josef Moll found that condition intolerable in the long run.\nIn his first year as managing director, he therefore set all gears in motion in order to be listed as a supplier of conveyor facilities the operation previously only knew from catalogues. Looking back, that decision clearly was the most important one in his entire career, laying the basis for a new, successful, and much larger company.\nAfter the successful start as a supplier for the automotive industry and the growing entrepreneurial requirements due to this, Josef Moll brought in Franz Bayer as an experienced and competent business partner. The double management started driving the company\u2019s development with outstanding success. Since MOLL quickly grew to exceed the dimensions of the old Eschlbach workshop by far, a production site with an operating area of about 36,000 sqm was built in the new industrial quarter of Leiblfing to keep up with the big players in the automotive supplier industry in terms of capacity as well.\nWhen moving into the new corporate site with 28 employees at the time, Moll had recognised that he would need to focus most strongly on services in the area of engineering in future in order to remain competitive in the long run. Based on this insight, he established an independent design department with Manfred R\u00fcth, head of design at the time and later to become his co-manager. Now, the company was able to offer everything from design, to production and assembly, to commissioning from a single source as a general contractor. This was a quantum leap from an entrepreneurial perspective.\nThe hard battle for the OEMs\u2019 favour lasted many years. Eventually, Moll and Bayer acquired their first large order beyond the 10-million-DM threshold in 1996. It quickly became clear that MOLL would prevail in this trial by fire. With such a reference under its belt, the company was able to gradually establish itself as a key player of the automotive industry. It subsequently acquired globally operating OEMs such as Audi, Volkswagen, and Daimler as new customers. Larger order volumes also required more space, of course. Moll outgrew the production capacities of its new building in Leiblfing once again after just a few years. Subsequently, he had the company\u2019s headquarters extended by building two halls (with a useful area of about 3,500 sqm) and expanded the design office (by approx. 250 sqm).\nAfter a decade and a half of constant growth, the founder suffered his first entrepreneurial setback in 2001, when a fire started by a technical defect burned the newly constructed second production hall almost down to its foundations. Thanks to the alertness and quick reaction of an employee, the remaining operating premises could be saved from the flames.\nAfter rebuilding and the subsequent expansion of the factory by production halls three and four (each with a useful area of about 2,000 sqm), the expansion course could continue unhindered, however, also on a global level. The first large order for the US market was the delivery of conveyor facilities for the BMW factory in Spartanburg\/South Carolina in 2003. In the subsequent years, the MOLL staff grew to a headcount of 140, distributed among several sites, e.g. in Leiblfing, Sindelfingen, or Braunschweig.\nAfter MOLL Maschinenbau was sold to the Austrian group EK-Finn, Josef Moll watched from afar as \u201chis\u201d company fell into insolvency, not least as a consequence of the global economic crisis in 2009. As the manager of the newly founded engineering office MAT in Perkam, Moll maintained a close enough contact with the directors of ROFA Group at the time that they could eventually be convinced to purchase and integrate newly founded MOLL Automatisierung into their group of companies.\nThe board of ROFA Group, under chairman Wolfgang Kozsar, had one condition for the purchase of MOLL, however: Josef Moll had to return as managing director. Together with Manfred R\u00fcth, Moll faced new challenges in that function in order to bring his own former company back to an economically sound footing. Backed by the group parent ROFA and with great personal commitment, he contacted his old companions to help him return MOLL Automatisierung to calmer waters. His first three years as the new \u201cold\u201d managing director were so successful that another factory hall (with a useful area of approx. 2,500 sqm) had to be built to meet the rising demand to the production capacities.\nThe Moll\/R\u00fcth duo eventually returned to the track of success for good in 2014. Since their return, they had been able to increase the company turnover by a magical fifty percent!\nAfter optimising structures and processes in the company, driving development of the IT infrastructure on the highest level, and ordering construction of another assembly hall, Josef Moll decided to pass his responsibility on into younger hands. After two years of managing the company together, he finally handed over the management to his successors Stefan Bauer and Thomas Wittmann on 1 July 2020.\nJosef Moll retiring? \u2013 Impossible! What is likely going to be his last big project is all about his home region: the Leiblfing municipality. Freshly elected as mayor there, he has a clear idea of his future creative and productive contributions, similar to the manner in which he built his company. He wants to make this vision come true in the years ahead. The chances for this are quite good. After all, he is known as someone who has always been true to his word!\nAs managing director of MOLL Automatisierung, Josef Moll will be remembered as someone who\u2026\n\nstill knew all employees in person and always considered their private lives in everyday work\ngave every employee the feeling that they were an important part of his company\nspoke his mind and convinced others on technical and interpersonal levels\nalways strove to maintain a balance between private life and work\nalways considered social commitment essential\nplaces importance on values and traditions, in particular those of Bavaria\nwas, all in all, a down-to-earth managing director throughout the time that he was responsible for the company, with great passion, empathy, and enthusiasm that is rare in these days!\n\nThe entire staff at MOLL Automatisierung, including managing directors Stefan Bauer, Thomas Wittmann, and the board of directors of ROFA group, thank Josef Moll for his many wonderful years of cooperation, and for more than 250 secure jobs in the Straubing-Bogen district.\nThank you, \u201cSepp\u201d, and all the best for your future!<\/span><span style=\"margin-left:3px; max-height:3.63em\" class=\"line_limit\"> [...]<\/span><\/span><span class=\"custom_fields\">\n<!-- WPLP Unknown field: Custom_Fields -->\n<\/span><\/div><\/div><div id=\"wplp_box_left_524_845\" class=\"wpcu-front-box left wpcu-custom-position\"><div class=\"wplp-box-item\"><\/div><\/div><div id=\"wplp_box_right_524_845\" class=\"wpcu-front-box right wpcu-custom-position\"><div class=\"wplp-box-item\"><\/div><\/div><div id=\"wplp_box_bottom_524_845\" class=\"wpcu-front-box bottom \"><div class=\"wplp-box-item\"><span class=\"dfreadmore\">\n<!-- WPLP Unknown field: dfReadMore -->\n<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/li><li id=\"wplp_li_524_519\" data-post=\"519\" class=\"postno_9 masonry li-item-id blog_id_4\" style=\"\"><div class=\"insideframe\"><div id=\"wplp_box_top_524_519\" class=\"wpcu-front-box top equalHeightImg\"><div class=\"wplp-box-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rofa-group.com\/moll\/en\/news-en\/progress-through-know-how\/\" class=\"thumbnail\"><span class=\"img_cropper\" style=\"max-width:100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rofa-group.com\/moll\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/moll-vorsprung-durch-know-how.jpg\" style=\"\" srcset=\"\" alt=\"Progress through know-how\" class=\"wplp_thumb\"><\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rofa-group.com\/moll\/en\/news-en\/progress-through-know-how\/\" class=\"title\"><span style=\"height:4.05em\" class=\"line_limit\">Progress through know-how<\/span><\/a><span class=\"date\">13.

As a supplier of conveyor systems and special machinery, MOLL Automatisierung GmbH has recently been able to play a major role in the reconstruction of automobile plants. And the Leiblfing-based company also sees itself well prepared for the coming years.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tImage: Managing directors of MOLL Automatisierung GmbH (from left to right: Stefan Bauer, Josef Moll, Thomas Wittmann)\n\t\tThe change has long been reflected in forecasts: by 2030, it is predicted, that every third new vehicle registered in Europe will be electrically powered, and in China it is even expected to be almost every second. Alternative mobility concepts such as car sharing are said to make up ten to 15 percent of total car sales by then. Technical advances in the field of autonomous driving will significantly change the design and functional equipment of vehicles over the next 15 to 20 years. For many automotive suppliers, this means drastic changes in their business models, combined with the risk of losing their place in the race between technologies and their various suppliers.\nMOLL Automatisierung, the Leiblfing-based supplier of conveyor systems and special machines, a member of the ROFA Group, has been able to adapt to this technological change in time. \u201eWe are currently in the privileged position of being involved in the reconstruction of automotive plants of all well-known OEMs. In 2019, this has brought us a total turnover of well over 100 million euros\u201c, sums up Managing Director Josef Moll. In view of the increasing competition from China or Eastern Europe, we must keep an eye on the market, but there are still areas where the quality work of German engineers is in demand. In 2019, this has brought us a total turnover of well over 100 million euros\u201c, sums up Managing Director Josef Moll. In view of the increasing competition from China or Eastern Europe, it is true that we must keep an eye on the market, but there are still areas where the quality work of German engineers is in demand.\nIn particular, Moll sees problems in the area of simple conveyor technology: \u201eIt is becoming increasingly difficult to keep up with foreign competitors in terms of price. This means that our product portfolio must be adapted to the new situation. We need to invest more in special mechanical engineering and automation technology, because here in particular, engineering know-how and product quality still count more than the price itself\u201c.\nMarriage stations \u2013 the assembly of body and chassis \u2013 is one of the driving forces of MOLL Automatisierung. In this business sector, projects in Germany, South Africa and Mexico generated a sales of over 30 million euros in 2019. \u201eWe delivered our first marriage in 2003 for BMW in Dingolfing. Since then, we have developed into one of the top 5 suppliers worldwide. Our goal is to expand our position in the coming years and become more or less independent of developments in drive technologies. Because one thing is certain: even an electric car consists of a body and a chassis\u201c jokes Moll.\nAccordingly, the company is aggressively facing the current economic downturn in the automotive industry. Moll: \u201eMany suppliers are currently struggling with order bottlenecks or short-time work. On the other hand, after the final expansion of our production facilities, we can concentrate on expanding our engineering and building up the necessary know-how in this way. We hope that this will give us a decisive advantage in the upcoming years\u201c.<\/span><span style=\"margin-left:3px; max-height:3.63em\" class=\"line_limit\"> [...]<\/span><\/span><span class=\"custom_fields\">\n<!-- WPLP Unknown field: Custom_Fields -->\n<\/span><\/div><\/div><div id=\"wplp_box_left_524_519\" class=\"wpcu-front-box left wpcu-custom-position\"><div class=\"wplp-box-item\"><\/div><\/div><div id=\"wplp_box_right_524_519\" class=\"wpcu-front-box right wpcu-custom-position\"><div class=\"wplp-box-item\"><\/div><\/div><div id=\"wplp_box_bottom_524_519\" class=\"wpcu-front-box bottom \"><div class=\"wplp-box-item\"><span class=\"dfreadmore\">\n<!-- WPLP Unknown field: dfReadMore -->\n<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/li><li id=\"wplp_li_524_511\" data-post=\"511\" class=\"postno_10 masonry li-item-id blog_id_4\" style=\"\"><div class=\"insideframe\"><div id=\"wplp_box_top_524_511\" class=\"wpcu-front-box top equalHeightImg\"><div class=\"wplp-box-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rofa-group.com\/moll\/en\/news-en\/donation-for-ski-class-lachende-kinder\/\" class=\"thumbnail\"><span class=\"img_cropper\" style=\"max-width:100%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rofa-group.com\/moll\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/spende-skikurs.jpg\" style=\"\" srcset=\"\" alt=\"Donation for Ski Class \u201eLachende Kinder\u201c\" class=\"wplp_thumb\"><\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rofa-group.com\/moll\/en\/news-en\/donation-for-ski-class-lachende-kinder\/\" class=\"title\"><span style=\"height:4.05em\" class=\"line_limit\">Donation for Ski Class \u201eLachende Kinder\u201c<\/span><\/a><span class=\"date\">13.

More than 2,300 visitors used the opportunity to have a look behind the scenes of the mechanical engineering company.\nOn Thursday and Friday before that, about 300 invited guests each came to experience a seniors\u2018 afternoon and the successful inauguration festivities for the new 2,500 square metres large assembly hall Am Gewerbepark 2 in Leiblfing. A blessing from priest Leo Heinrich and festive speeches by guests of honour from the economy and politics gave the guests an informative day at late-summer temperatures.\nMany of the 250 employees took the opportunity to proudly present their workplace to their families and friends on Saturday. A round tour marked by barriers and equipped with signs made it easy for visitors to get to know all areas of the company. Most guests started out inspecting the new assembly hall, where many different machine presentations and stands from the vocational school in Straubing and MOLL company respectively were available to them. In particular the two information stands offered an opportunity to many teens and parents to talk to trainees, the people in charge and teachers from the \u201emechanics\u201c area about the professions of precision mechanic (m\/w\/d), office management merchant (m\/w\/d) and technical product designer (m\/w\/d).\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\nMOLL products as used by the customer\n\t\tIn the other halls, employees provided information about the respective machines and departments throughout the event. The \u201echassis installation\u201c designed for VW Argentine was another magnet for the audience. Various examples and explanations by the employees gave them an idea of how MOLL products are used by the customers and what benefits they bring.\nAn image film was shown in the office building and the design work was presented with various 3D animations, layouts and technical drawings.\t\t\nBavarian Minister for Economic Affairs\n\t\tThe panel discussion about medium-sized enterprises with Bavarian Minister for Economic Affairs and Deputy Prime Minister Hubert Aiwanger was a clear highlight. Together with Josef Moll (managing director), Ludwig Waas (mayor of the Niederwinkling municipality) and Wolfgang Maier (former business promoter of the government of Lower Bavaria), all participants engaged in a refreshing and charming bout of verbal sparring on current political and commercial subjects related to the region.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\nFood, a candy booth, volleyball and electrical vehicles\n\t\tCatering service Ismair from Th\u00fcrnthenning provided food and drinks for the guests in its usual professional manner. The Frauenbund and Landfrauen Leiblfing supported it, standing out with their coffee and homemade cakes. Good entertainment was guaranteed as well. The offered volleyball court with its prominent visits from the pros of the NAWARO Straubing, proved to be wildly popular. A presentation of electrical vehicles by the Autohaus V\u00f6gl and Autohaus AVP drew many visitors as well, who engaged in a thorough exchange on the future of automotive manufacture. Gabys Leckereien handed out sweets to the very youngest of guests, who could let off steam in the bouncy castle. Proper folk music in the background was provided by the Kapelle Kaiserschmarrn.\t\t\nAcknowledgement\n\t\tWe would like to thank the Frauenbund and the Landfrauen Leiblfing, the FFW Ober- und Niedersunzing, the HVO Schwimmbach, the players of NAWARO Straubing and the priest of the Leiblfing municipality, Mr Leo Heinrich, for attending and for their enormous volunteer contributions to this event\u2019s success.\nSee more impressions about this event.<\/span><span style=\"margin-left:3px; max-height:3.63em\" class=\"line_limit\"> [...]<\/span><\/span><span class=\"custom_fields\">\n<!-- WPLP Unknown field: Custom_Fields -->\n<\/span><\/div><\/div><div id=\"wplp_box_left_524_494\" class=\"wpcu-front-box left wpcu-custom-position\"><div class=\"wplp-box-item\"><\/div><\/div><div id=\"wplp_box_right_524_494\" class=\"wpcu-front-box right wpcu-custom-position\"><div class=\"wplp-box-item\"><\/div><\/div><div id=\"wplp_box_bottom_524_494\" class=\"wpcu-front-box bottom \"><div class=\"wplp-box-item\"><span class=\"dfreadmore\">\n<!-- WPLP Unknown field: dfReadMore -->\n<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEWS That\u2019s what moves us<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-448","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","cat-52-id"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rofa-group.com\/moll\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/448","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rofa-group.com\/moll\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rofa-group.com\/moll\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rofa-group.com\/moll\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rofa-group.com\/moll\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=448"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.rofa-group.com\/moll\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/448\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":750,"href":"https:\/\/www.rofa-group.com\/moll\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/448\/revisions\/750"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rofa-group.com\/moll\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
