35 years of Pfanzelt: More than 12,000 visitors made our anniversary celebrations an unforgettable experience
With temperatures soaring in the height of summer, the well-being of visitors was the top priority. That is why Pfanzelt provided more than 8,000 bottles of mineral water free of charge at all the drinks stations. Guests gratefully accepted the offer and frequently praised it as a special gesture of hospitality.
The figures behind the event were also impressive: just under 100 Pfanzelt staff members and a further 100 volunteers – including caterers, exhibitors, a film crew and numerous partners – ensured that everything ran smoothly. 20 partner companies showcased their products and services at the exhibitors’ marketplace, whilst spectacular live demonstrations in the forstARENA generated great excitement. A particular highlight was the 90 helicopter take-offs for sightseeing flights and the impressive heli-logging demonstrations.
Alongside the machinery and demonstrations, it was above all the many personal encounters that characterised the anniversary celebrations. Numerous visitors took advantage of the factory tours, the test track, the machinery exhibition and the varied supporting programme to get to know Pfanzelt up close.
The wealth of positive feedback from visitors is a striking reflection of the event’s success:
“Brilliant, really informative – I’d love to come again!”
“It was a fantastic, impressive exhibition! You can be proud of it!”
“It was a real treat for me and my kids – thank you!”
“It’s incredible how much passion went into organising everything. I’ve gained a completely different impression of the company and now understand why people talk about Pfanzelt as a family business.”
“The free water initiative was brilliant! The rest was great too, of course.”
“The organisation, running of the event and information were perfect. The company was fascinating, the catering excellent – huge praise to the whole team!”
“A truly brilliant celebration with fascinating technology, exciting demonstrations and perfect conditions. A huge compliment to everyone involved.”
Managing Director Paul Pfanzelt was also overwhelmed:
“An anniversary like this can only be celebrated together. Our warmest thanks go to all our visitors, our staff, partners, exhibitors and helpers. The tremendous response, the many personal conversations and the enthusiasm of our guests far exceeded our expectations. We’ll all remember this weekend for a long time to come.”
With the anniversary celebrations, Pfanzelt was not only able to look back on 35 successful years of company history, but also to impressively demonstrate what the family-run business stands for: innovative technology, the highest quality, a genuine passion for the work and a close bond with customers, partners and the forest.
