#NextLevelChristmasParty at Sesotec: On Fire. 🔥🎉✨ 

We took the unique opportunity to transform our newly built and still empty production hall into an extraordinary event location.

With a fire-glow facade illumination and an ambiance created by the impressive LED and lighting technology from Veranstaltungstechnik Berger, golden rain for our new building project team, outstanding catering from Partyservice Berger, and of course, the cheerful togetherness including a party lasting until the early morning hours, the successes of the past year and our jubilarians were the centerpiece of our Christmas party.

A special highlight once again was welcoming all our colleagues from across Europe to Schönberg. But that wasn’t all: This year, all our subsidiaries in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, India, China, the USA, and Canada were live-streamed into the event and could actively participate. 

Santa Claus himself couldn’t believe the drive he felt in this hall and concluded: “Sesotec is burning with passion for another successful future.”

A heartfelt thank you to all colleagues who contributed with full dedication to the planning and execution! A true team effort! 

Our Christmas party was not just our collective year-end celebration. It was, above all, the starting point for further development toward new NEXT LEVELS that we at Sesotec are striving for.

Stay tuned for what’s to come! More updates in the new year!

The new building of Sesotec is an excellent example of resource conservation par excellence. Through a minimalist architectural design that interferes as little as possible with the natural terrain, it harmonizes with the surrounding landscape. In addition, the building features an innovative energy management concept based on a combination of photovoltaic and geothermal energy, completely avoiding the use of fossil fuels.  

Through these measures, the new building makes a significant contribution to the energy transition and climate protection. In addition, a water recovery system is installed, which further increases the sustainability of the building and significantly reduces water consumption.

One of the most important points was to use as few terrain resources as possible. The building integrates into the landscape and the existing conditions are interfered with as little as possible. In addition, innovative energy management was a particular concern during the planning process. With the use of geothermal energy and photovoltaics without fossil fuels, this issue and the ecological footprint are solved in a way that is generation-friendly.

Comprehensive Land-use plan incl. geological expertise, environmental reports, flood calculations and noise protection

As far as the existing location in Saunstein is concerned, there are already plans for modernisation, which are also being implemented step by step.
