Construction of the first building 🏗️ While his own manpower and a cellar at the Bühlhof were enough to kickstart his business, Christian Bürkert took on his first employee soon afterwards, renting rooms in the castle and the “mint” in Ingelfingen. A short time later, with the energetic support of all 36 employees, the company’s first building for business, training and housing purposes was constructed by the railway line in Ingelfingen, with everything being built in-house, right down to the bricks. This joint effort to build the organisation symbolises the spirit of the early years, characterised by openness and a drive to get things done. Even back then, the company’s long-term commitment to responsibility and securing the future was evident in the high priority it placed on training: the newly erected company building featured a training workshop that not only met the company’s own needs but also offered career opportunities to school leavers outside of agriculture and effectively guaranteed them a job for life. #pioneersofflow
