Holiday Spirit at MeKo

On December 6th, we came together with over 250 colleagues in Hildesheim for our annual MeKo Christmas Party – a wonderful evening filled with laughter, delicious food, and festive cheer. One of the highlights of the evening was our MeKo Christmas donation. This year, thanks to the generosity of our employees, we raised €1,905.15 for the Herzenswunsch Krankenwagen by Malteser e.V., an organization that fulfills the last wishes of terminally ill individuals. In addition, our official corporate donations this year went to Aktion Mensch and SOS Kinderdorf. The evening was packed with highlights, including a performance by Ars Saltandi (dance & acrobatics), a Christmas song by our new employees, and a heartfelt recognition of our colleagues serving as first responders, fire marshals, employee representatives and more. We’re proud of our incredible team, whose dedication extends beyond work to supporting causes that truly make a difference. Wishing all of our partners, customers, and MedTech enthusiasts a joyful holiday season! 🌟

Project "Digital Learning Alliances"

This semester, we are excited to once again be part of the exciting project "Digital Learning Alliances" organized by the Chamber of Handicrafts in Hannover! Four students from the 11th grade of KGS Sehnde have taken on the task of organizing a fictional "Open House Day" at MeKo. They are being supported in their efforts by our training coordinator, Jasmin Maaz, and our dual student, Lukas Bartels. Recently, Lean, Hannah, Mira, and Hedda visited us to get to know our products and work areas. During a tour of our production facilities, they even had the opportunity to customize their own bottle openers in our MetalWorks department. A special highlight? We all enjoyed some ice cream together in celebration of our CEO's birthday. We’re excited to see how they’ll bring their ideas to life!

Refreshing summer cooldown at MeKo

Cool summer greetings from Sarstedt! The past few days have treated us to beautiful summer weather. Unfortunately, outside of the summer holidays, this often means stagnant air and sweating at work. That's why on Tuesday, with temperatures over 30°C, we were treated to a refreshing cool-down: ice cream for everyone, courtesy of MeKo. This is part of our corporate benefits: we strengthen our team spirit with a food truck for the entire workforce when a new hire is referred internally. This way, everyone benefits, and you get to meet new colleagues over a quick snack. What’s your favorite strategy for staying cool on hot workdays?

World Champion Alexander Kleiner-Bley Wins another Medal in Taipei!

After our development engineer and very own top-athlete Alexander Kleiner-Bley already became Vice World Champion over 1,500 m last week, he has fought his way onto the podium again. At his first international competition over 5,000 m, he successfully secured third place - and thus the bronze medal. The conditions were extremely challenging with hot temperatures and high humidity. Despite this unfamiliar weather and a spontaneous rescheduling of the competitions due to an approaching typhoon, Alex showed what is possible with hard training and relentless perseverance. Alex's conclusion of the last competition: "It was an incredibly tough race, but I'm glad the effort and training paid off. I'm super satisfied with the overall result of this World Championship and happy that so many people followed the races and supported me." What a crowning conclusion to the World Championships in Taiwan! We wish Alex some well-deserved resting time before he comes back to continue his work with fresh ideas and a clear mind.
