Christmas 2024

Dear business partners,

Another eventful year is coming to an end and we would like to take this opportunity to pause and look back with you. 2024 has also presented us all with challenges, be it the ongoing geopolitical tensions, the economic uncertainties or the ongoing adjustments in global supply chains. Together, however, we have shown that resilience and partnership are the key to success, even in difficult times.

Thanks to your loyalty and outstanding collaboration, we have once again been able to develop innovative solutions, break new ground and achieve milestones together this year. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Looking ahead to the coming year, we are confident about the future. In 2025, we will continue to support you with our knowledge and experience to further optimise your products and processes and achieve your goals.

As in previous years, we would like to set an example of solidarity this year instead of sending Christmas gifts. That is why we have decided to support charitable organisations whose commitment is particularly close to our hearts:

• - the children's hospice service Sternentreppe at Caritas e.V., Hagen
• - the BSH Betrieb für Sozialeinrichtungen Hagen gem. GmbH Jugendhilfe Selbecke
• - the Hagen soup kitchen e.V.

We wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May health, happiness and optimism be your constant companions.

With best regards
Carsten Bleck
CEO/Andernach & Bleck GmbH & Co. KG
