Essex Solutions, Lacroix + Kress Celebrate 80 Years in Bramsche
The event was a joint celebration with Plant Managers Jens Bosse and Jörg Hupfeld welcoming guests and hosting the celebration, which began on Friday with guided tours of both facilities. Nearly 20 tours were given before the main evening event, which drew approximately 300 attendees.
Opening remarks were delivered by Bosse and Hupfeld followed by Klaus Borstner, President Essex Solutions Europe; Daniel Choi, CEO of Essex Solutions; Heiner Pahlmann, Mayor of Bramsche; and Guido Pott, Member of the Lower Saxony State Parliament. Each speaker reflected on the shared history of the businesses, emphasizing the dedication and craftsmanship of the people who have driven the success of both companies for eight decades as well as acknowledging the stakeholder relationships that have been cultivated over time.
“Eighty years in Bramsche is a remarkable achievement—an achievement only possible because of the dedication, skill, and cooperation of everyone who has contributed to this journey,” said Choi. “We are proud to commemorate this legacy while also looking ahead to the future of Essex Solutions.”
Borstner added: “Essex Solutions, together with Lacroix + Kress, are reflecting on their shared history as well as honoring the people whose dedication and craftsmanship have made this legacy possible. This anniversary is also a celebration of customers, partners, and employees—both past and present—whose trust and commitment have carried us through eight decades of excellence.”
The celebration extended into Sunday with a dedicated employee event for current and retired team members and their families. Nearly 400 attendees joined the day of recognition, camaraderie, and appreciation for the men and women whose contributions have sustained the company’s success.
