Family Day for the 80th Anniversary – A Behind-the-Scenes Look for All Ages

On Sunday, September 21, 2025, as part of the 80th anniversary celebrations of Lacroix + Kress and Essex Solutions Germany, we opened our doors to the families and friends of our employees, giving them a special look into the working world of our two companies.

The highlight of the day was the guided factory tours through the facilities of both companies at the Bramsche site. Many took the opportunity to peek behind the scenes, learn more about our products, experience machines and processes up close, and see production in action. For the kids, it was especially exciting to discover where mom or dad works.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Visitors could also dive deep into the history of both companies. The “History Walk” once again offered an exciting time travel through the past eight decades. Photos, videos, and exhibits made the development of Lacroix + Kress and Essex Solutions Germany come alive.

Of course, good food and drinks were also part of the day. Delicious meals, refreshing beverages, and a relaxed atmosphere ensured everyone felt comfortable and enjoyed themselves.

A heartfelt thank-you goes out to everyone who made this special day possible—from planning to execution. With great commitment and attention to detail, you made sure this day will be remembered for a long time.
