The celebrations also included an open day for employees, families, and friends, drawing more than 4,000 visitors to explore 23 production stations and see the company’s Mission Control Centre and HAVER & BOECKER Institute in action. The atmosphere blended nostalgia with pride, underscoring the company’s long-standing culture of teamwork and innovation.

In a nod to tradition, employees participated in a classic car and motorcycle rally from Münster to Oelde, showcasing over 90 historic vehicles. The event reflected the strong bonds between generations of employees and customers — a hallmark of the company’s enduring success.
