Einhell promotes associations in the region with more than 50,000 euros
Not only is Einhell Germany AG a company that operates worldwide, but it has also been deeply rooted in the Landau an der Isar region for more than 60 years now. Through the “Team Einhell” initiative for the promotion of local associations, the tool manufacturer has once again shown the importance it places on social engagement and support for local organizations. The region’s associations and social and charitable initiatives had the opportunity to apply from October 1st to November 30th, 2024, – and there was a great deal of interest: 35 candidates submitted projects, and 15 were ultimately fortunate enough to receive a sum of 3,500 euros in aid.
The creative video applications came from associations and organizations in the districts of Deggendorf, Dingolfing-Landau, Passau, Landshut, Regen, Rottal-Inn and Straubing-Bogen. All of them made a connection between the candidates and Einhell, highlighting common features such as “team spirit”, “dynamic”, “successful” and “international”. The decision was clearly quite difficult for the jury, and for this reason the company gave out 15 prizes instead of the 14 originally announced. The fortunate winners are also a reflection of the diversity of social engagement in the region: From soccer, dance and gymnastics to voluntary fire brigades, carnival dance groups and ski clubs, there was a bit of everything.
In-person presentation
Einhell was able to present some of the winners with their donation checks in person. These were special moments for Hans-Peter Rostan, Einhell Germany AG Group Human Resources Director. As he noted: “We are delighted to give something back and to express our ties to the region through this initiative. A big thank you goes to all the participants for their engagement!”
First prizes already put to use
The first winners have already demonstrated that they have put the donated funds to good use: The Landau/Isar voluntary fire brigade has purchased team uniforms for events and training sessions, to offer a more professional appearance. SSC Landau/Isar is using the aid to participate in the German championship in Leipzig.
New projects in the works
Through this initiative for associations, Einhell Germany AG has once again highlighted its commitment to the region and set an excellent example of local engagement and community spirit.
“The strong level of participation has shown how important financial support is for the different organizations in the region. Therefore, other initiatives to strengthen the region will also take place this year”, said Rostan.
