First International HR & Marketing Summits! Over the past years, our company has continued to expand through the integration of international subsidiaries. Alongside this growth, our global HR and Marketing teams have become key ambassadors of the ARI® brand in their respective markets. To bring these teams together, we recently welcomed colleagues from ten international subsidiaries to our headquarters in Schloß Holte-Stukenbrock for our first International HR & Marketing Summits. Over several days, the focus was on sharing ideas, learning from each other and building a common understanding of both global and local requirements. Together, we explored how we can leverage synergies across locations and set the right priorities for the future development of our international organisation. For many participants, it was their first visit to our headquarters and their first opportunity to meet colleagues in person. Alongside workshops and discussions on HR and Marketing topics, the agenda included factory tours, presentations from different departments and insights into our history, culture and processes of ARI®. This helped create a better understanding of how we work together across functions and locations. Beyond the professional exchange, the summits also provided plenty of opportunities for personal conversations and team building. Whether during a cooking event in our company restaurant, a walk to the local castle or at the Sternchenlauf, where several of our international colleagues joined the run, the week offered many moments to connect beyond day-to-day business.
