Ehrungsfeier Jubilare 2023

WE'RE CELEBRATING 275 YEARS OF COMPANY EMPLOYEES!

2023/11

We celebrated a very special occasion in November: the management paid tribute to 12 employees celebrating anniversaries in the production and technology departments for their 10 to 45 years of company employment! Altogether this amounts to an anniversary of 275 years!

The convivial anniversary celebrations were personally commemorated by managing directors Andreas Hilker and Reinhold Köper – and naturally, a toast was made to thank the employees. Six of the employees celebrating anniversaries have been with our company for at least 25 years and special tribute was made to them with an anniversary certificate from the East Westphalia Chamber of Industry and Commerce.

Many of the employees have been with Windau since the 1970s to 1990s and were part of the team back in the days of the main factory site on Gütersloher Strasse. We are proud of their contribution to the positive development of our company over the decades.

Our thanks go to all twelve employees on their anniversaries and for their long-standing, excellent collaboration and loyalty!

Vegan barbecue? No problem with the new barbecue patties from Windau! With its innovative patties, Windau has reinvented that delicious sausage flavour. The patties are free from meat and cheese yet are tasty and 100% plant-based with wheat protein.

The vegan all-rounders can be quickly and easily cooked on a barbecue or in the pan. Ideal for plant-based barbecue dishes, as an accompaniment to summer salads or as a hearty patty for vegan burgers. Thanks to their high wheat content, they are also a genuine source of protein and perfect for boosting the protein content of sandwiches and other meals.

Now available in three tasty varieties: aromatic garden herbs, spicy curry-chili and smoky barbecue.

On November 14, 2022, Windau was awarded for the "NRW State Prize for Food"! Among other things, the prize is awarded to North Rhine-Westphalian companies in the food industry for their high quality of food.

Silke Gorißen, Minister for Agriculture and Consumer Protection, presented the award: "Good and healthy nutrition is a goal for society as a whole. All 80 companies that are awarded for the NRW state prize for food are committed to this. Whether it's a small bakery, a successful medium-sized company or an international operating company with its headquarters in North Rhine-Westphalia: all award winners stand for high quality food. They also have in common that they offer their employees good working conditions and always keep an eye on the promotion of young people. In addition, everyone is committed to environment and sustainability. All of these are decisive factors in order to be awarded for the NRW state prize for food.”
