Team FachPack 2021 Germany
Was it a special fair for you and what do you wish for 2022?
WOW! Finally we were allowed to present Uhlmann live again. The joy was great, the fair was well received. We had some good conversations and could tell: Our customers had also missed the fairs. For 2022, we hope that the encounters will continue in this way and are particularly looking forward to ACHEMA, but also to many smaller face-to-face meetings.
Stay healthy!

Juan Carlos, Technician Uhlmann Pac-Systems Ibérica S.L.
What do you wish for the new year?
I wish to be able to realise all my personal and professional projects.
¡¡Feliz Navidad!!

IT, Uhlmann Laupheim
A good conscience is a continual Christmas.
– Benjamin Franklin
IT wishes all colleagues stable systems so that they can work without problems. The applications should be user-friendly, then the after-work wine tastes much better. We would like to support you with fast support, virtually or on site.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas on behalf of the IT Team: Luisa Bader, Helmut Österle, Helge Stührmann

Service Team Uhlmann Höfliger Schweiz GmbH
What are you looking forward to in the Christmas time?
Grüezi!
Due to Corona and home office, few meetings took place in the Arlesheim office in 2021. Therefore, we are very much looking forward to a small get-together. Traditionally, we start this with a small apero.


Uhlmann Nordiska AB
How do you celebrate Christmas in the team?
We celebrate together in a restaurant in the amusement park “Liseberg”. We are looking forward to meeting together after the long Corona period. The amusement park is transformed into a traditional Christmas market and brings the Christmas spirit to life.
God Jul & Gott Nytt år!

Tanja Maskell, Office Management, Uhlmann UK Ltd.
What are your plans for the Christmas season?
I’m looking forward to visiting Germany and seeing my family. And to seeing the renovation of a 160-year-old farmhouse, live. We had guided them from England over a distance of 600 kilometres – and during a pandemic!
The camera footage of the resident pine martens in the midst of the construction work kept me on my toes!

Steve Quilt,Managing Director, Uhlmann UK Ltd.
Why do Brits love wearing Christmas jumpers?
Where that came from, I don’t know. According to Wikipedia, it started with television programmes. Some also suspect the film “Bridget Jones” of having given us the “ugly Christmas jumpers”. But one thing is certain: we love these colourful things! In the meantime, even brands like Jägermeister or the bakery chain Greggs produce their own Christmas jumpers.
Wouldn’t that be an idea for Uhlmann, too? 😉

Uhlmann India Pvt. Ltd.
What was your highlight this year?
Indian festivities – making life a celebration! India’s rich and vibrant festivals are a testament to our diverse traditions and culture. We celebrated the festivals of Dussehra and Diwali at the office with all UIN staff stationed in Pune.
On Diwali, Managing Director Sumeet Aroroa distributed gifts to the employees.

Trainees, Uhlmann Laupheim
What are your plans for the new year?
We trainees are already doing a lot – for example, the Advent wreath. But we still have more plans: in 2022 we want to get good grades again, learn a lot of practical things and meet new friends and colleagues.

Bao Yongkang (包永康), assembly worker, Wonder Packing
What was the highlight of the past year for you?
Happy New Year! 新年快乐!
I have been with the company for ten years as an assembly worker and I am happy to celebrate my anniversary together with Wonder. During my time at Wonder, I married my beautiful wife and she gave birth to my son three years ago. I love my family, my work and Wonder!
Ich wünsche euch allen das Beste für 2022!

Part of the SAP S/4HANA project team from KOCH Pac-Systeme GmbH
What was particularly good in the past year?
SENSATIONAL was the performance of the entire KOCH project team during the introduction of SAP S/4HANA. With a duration of more than two years, valuable discussions, perseverance and under difficult Corona conditions, we rocked this project together.
We are very proud of this result!

Sales Department, Uhlmann Singapore LLP
What do you wish for the new year?
Greetings from the Singapore team of the Uhlmann Group Sales Department! For 2022, we wish to connect and grow with more followers on our LinkedIn page (“Uhlmann Singapore LLP”). Of course, personal greetings are most welcome!
If you haven’t already, follow us quickly on LinkedIn!

Christian Müller, Director of Sales Engineering, Uhlmann Packaging Systems L.P. USA
What makes the Christmas season special for you?
Since I can’t spend Christmas with my family in Germany this year, I’m baking homemade pretzels. When using caustic soda, the highest level of safety is required – hence the protective clothing.
I reward myself (and my dear colleagues) with something that reminds me of home.

Canteen, Uhlmann Laupheim
How was 2021 for you as a team?
In any case, we came through 2021 mostly healthy! The greatest joy for us was that we can offer food again (breakfast, catering, etc.). Above all, we had missed the personal contact with the staff.
We will also be there for you in 2022!

Fette Compacting Uhlmann France S.A.S.
How do you celebrate Christmas as a team?
First of all, we got an Christmas calendar. A few days before Christmas, we planned a company outing to celebrate the end of the year together. After Christmas, the company is closed for a week, so we enjoy the holidays with our families and celebrate the New Year.
Merry Christmas wishes the team of Uhlmann France! Take good care of yourself!

Olga Roschina, Sales Support/Marketing, Pharma Union
What do you wish for the new year?
The difficult pandemic situation has bonded our team even more. Besides the challenging time, we continued to work, take care of our loved ones, enjoy nature and the art around us. May the next year continue in good health and spirits.
С Новым Годом!

Gabi Bauer, Head of Marketing Uhlmann Laupheim
What makes the Christmas season special for you?
Since I love to cook, Christmas time is a special highlight for me. Because at this time of year, I like to get together with family, friends and also colleagues and treat them to a menu of their own. Our culture has many delicious components ready at this time: Freshly harvested potatoes for Thuringian dumplings, sustainably raised poultry for roast goose and red cabbage from the Fildern for a tasty side dish.

Shipping, Uhlmann Laupheim
What have you done particularly well as a team this year?
Although Corona dominated our working day, we have been well occupied with work. In the course of the Black Belt project, we transformed our workplaces in addition to our work in shipping. Nevertheless, at the end of the financial year in March, we recorded 2,500 packed and shipped packages.
We wish all our colleagues a wonderful Advent season.

Uhlmann Packaging Systems (Shanghai) Co. Ltd.
How do you celebrate Christmas in the team?
We will go to a German restaurant and get a feeling of Christmas with traditional food like goose and red cabbage. Together with the other departments we will have an “Wichtel” party and exchange small gifts. A healthy and successful new year to all colleagues!
圣诞快乐,平安到永远
新年快乐,合家欢无边

Uhlmann Packaging Systems (Shanghai) Co. Ltd.
What have you done particularly well as a team this year?
We faced a complete change of leadership and sales department within UCN, which was supported by the engineering team with great dedication. I am grateful and proud that my team contributed so much private time and energy to keep all projects running.
Alexander Steglich, Director Project Engineering, Uhlmann Shanghai

Digital Solutions, Uhlmann Laupheim
How many languages do you speak at Digital Solutions?
At Digital Solutions we have colleagues from nine different countries. We are available to our clients in about 20 languages (including Swabian) – but we all speak “Pexcite”.


Management Team Assembly, Uhlmann Laupheim
What have you done particularly well as a team this year?
Despite the tense Corona situation, our final assemblers installed the new machines for our customers worldwide. Once again, we would like to thank them for this!
We wish all our colleagues a happy New Year.

Alexander Steglich, Director Project Engineering, Uhlmann Shanghai
What makes the Christmas season special for you?
Christmas time is still a time with family and very old friends in the hometown. I hope that there will finally be a chance to visit Germany and see parents and friends again after more than two years. At the same time, I hope for all colleagues that they can spend time with their families and start the year 2022 with health and peace.

Human Resources Development, Uhlmann Laupheim
How did your team stay together last year despite the corona-related home office?
Team spirit?! That has always existed in our team! Even the home office couldn’t keep us apart! With our weekly meetings, the Monday-Smart-Meeting, the UHRD-Jour Fixe on Wednesday and the Coffee-Break on Friday, it was easy!
We wish all the teams a continued wonderful collaboration and a Merry Christmas!

The Uhlmann Orchestra wishes
„Feliz Navidad“
He created a “monster”, the blind singer José Feliciano once said about his biggest Christmas hit. Feliz Navidad returns every year and keeps getting bigger. One secret of its success is its simplicity. Three chords – 21 times ‘Feliz Navidad’ and 16 times ‘I Wanna Wish You A Merry Christmas’. Your orchestra wishes you a Merry Christmas!

Tereza Lang, Sales Tools & Templates
What special projects were you able to realise last year?
Last year, we were able to further digitalise and automate sales-relevant processes by mapping them in Salesforce, thus making them centrally available to our sales colleagues worldwide. Whether in the office or at home, everyone is up to date with Salesforce.
Merry Christmas!

Reception Team, Uhlmann Laupheim
How did the attendance change during Corona and what do you wish for 2022?
The number of visitors has almost halved from 2019 (10609 visitors) to 2020 (5841 visitors). There were more external visitors in 2021, but that seems to be changing again at the moment. For 2022, we wish everyone good health and remain undaunted! And we wish for a little less bureaucracy again 🙂
