VOLZ® TAPES Celebrates Building Expansion Progress With Traditional German "Richtfest" (Roof Topping-Out Party)
After many months of planning, drawing, digging, sweating, and at times fragile nerves, VOLZ® TAPES celebrated reaching another very important step in the expansion of its facilities in Schallstadt. On Saturday, September 17, 2022, VOLZ® TAPES CEOs, Andreas and Tetiana Benz welcomed over 150 guests, including Schallstadt Bürgermeister, Sebastian Kiss, architect firm Sennrich & Schneider CEOs Tobias Sennrich and Mike Schneider, along with many representatives of all the companies involved in the project, customers, business partners, and company employees to a traditional “Richtfest”. Guests were served an incredible array of refreshments, including a grill assortment, salads, flammkuchen, zwiebelkuchen (a german autumn delicacy made with onions), "neuer Sußer" (fresh pressed wine), cocktails, schnapps, and a selection of beers from Hadersbräu microbrewery. Music from the folks band, “Luft & Blech” was also a real crowd pleaser.
Complying with tradition, the chief Carpenters addressed the guests from atop the newly laid roof. Afterward, Architect Schneider then thanked the Benz family for their relationship and trust since the original VOLZ® TAPES main building was developed in 2016.
The new physical extension to operations is a vital step for VOLZ® TAPES, providing over 1418 more square-quadrat meters in manufacturing, warehouse, and office space. The expansion is a response to the company’s continued growth. The goal is not only to increase production functionality, but also to provide greater storage capacity. It is a part of the ongoing effort to increase customer satisfaction and reduce delivery times, which have been increasingly problematic due to the serious global supply chain issues over the last year.
VOLZ® TAPES thanks everyone in attendance for a wonderful celebration and looks forward to the completion of the building.
