Krefeld, September 28, 2022

The ZDF team around Andreas Huppert and our employees had a lot of fun together filming this feature. The day was characterized by mutual appreciation for the craftsmanship expertise. “That we and the perspectives and challenges of our foundry industry were reported on in such class in these important economic-political broadcasts on public television is of course very pleasing to us, and gives us continued motivation and confidence on our ambitious path. Of course, this great contribution is also a great appreciation for our dedicated team”, says Dirk Howe, Managing Director of Siempelkamp.

Media presence to make clear importance of industry

Siempelkamp Giesserei has been in the media for many months to draw attention to the systemic relevance and importance of the industrial casting trade and the need for a strong middle class in Germany. “To implement the transformation of our industry, we need companies like our Siempelkamp Giesserei.
