The bullet-proof vests have arrived

The local management kept the project a secret until the very end and so the joy of the staff was enormous when the protective vests were unpacked. “Everyone was incredibly surprised and grateful, our workers had very big eyes.“, the acting director at the Kharkiv plant said.

Once again, a big thank you to our colleague Dorothea, who initiated and managed the project. We sincerely hope that our partners and friends in Kharkiv will never really need the protective vests, but if they do, that it can help to prevent the worst from happening.

Our stance on the war in Ukraine

Berthold Technologies GmbH & Co. KG feels committed to responsible entrepreneurship as a value-oriented family business. We have been doing business worldwide for over 75 years - including in Eastern Europe - and are committed to a free economy and peace. The war in Ukraine is very upsetting for us.

We stand in solidarity with the people in the embattled regions, as well as the millions of refugees and people seeking protection.

In addition to our customers in Ukraine, we are particularly close to our Ukrainian suppliers, their employees and families, whose deliveries reach us regularly despite the daily risks they face.  

We believe in the liberal, democratic values of Europe, including freedom of expression and freedom of the press in particular, and condemn any violation of international law.

As a high-tech company, we believe not only in the power of research but also, in particular, in knowledge-based communication and the power of dialogue, which alone must be the basis for peaceful international economic cooperation, and we strongly condemn the use of violence.
