Day of German Unity

Once again this year we had the honour of being invited to the German Embassy in Ljubljana on the Day of German Unity.

We had the honour of meeting the new ambassador, Mrs Sylvia Groneick, shortly after she took office. We wish her all the best for her upcoming period of duty.

More than 30 years of unity and democracy were celebrated on this day.

Slovenian Foundrymen Conference 2024

The 64th Slovenian Foundry Conference (DLS), held in September 2024 in Portorož, was once again a key event for the international foundry community for our wonderful team from LIGO and ZÜRN. SI

Experts, scientists, and industry professionals from various countries gathered to discuss the latest technological advancements and challenges in the foundry sector.

This year’s conference focused on several critical topics, including:

  • Circular economy and sustainable innovations in the foundry industry
  • Advances in casting alloys and new material solutions
  • Automation and artificial intelligence in production processes
  • Energy efficiency and reducing the carbon footprint in foundry operations

The accompanying exhibition provided an excellent opportunity to explore cutting-edge technologies and products from leading companies in the sector. Participants were able to gain valuable insights into the future of foundry technology through these innovative solutions.

Networking played a crucial role at the conference, fostering the exchange of knowledge between academia and industry. Once again, the picturesque coastal town of Portorož proved to be the perfect venue, offering a relaxed and inspiring setting for the sharing of expertise.

The 64th DLS 2024 set a high standard for technological progress and knowledge exchange within the industry, reaffirming its position as a must-attend forum for all those involved in foundry technology.

Donations instead of presents

ZÜRN GmbH & Co. KG has decided once again this year to donate the money to charitable causes instead of giving presents. The following organisations were selected this year:

These are all organizations for a wide variety of purposes. Especially in the current difficult times, which have been shaken not only by various wars but also by an economic crisis, we must stick together and support those who need it most. 💗 🤝

Milestones of our company

For a long time we have wanted to write down our history after more than 50 years of ZÜRN Group. The moving into our new and beautiful headquarters is now exactly one year ago and we have taken this as an opportunity to put up a timeline with our most important milestones in our entrance area.

German Unity Day 2023

On the occasion of this year’s 33rd anniversary of the unification of Germany, we were again invited to the German Embassy in Ljubljana. As the bundeskanzler so beautifully said, “33 years ago today, confidence united our country” and that German unity was our great good fortune. He also speaks of standing together and relying on the fact that Germany is a strong country with a globally competitive economy, a highly developed welfare state and openness to the world. We also strive to continue this with our relationship to Slovenia and our partners there. 🤝🌍

Thank you for the invitation Adrian Pollmann und Natalie Kauther. 💙
