Flender-Wohltätigkeitsturnier auf der Anlage der Sportfreunde Lowick. Was diesen Tag ausmacht, sind nicht die Tore (obwohl es davon reichlich gab 😉). Es sind die Menschen und das Engagement für den guten Zweck: 👐 die Helferinnen und Helfer, die schon Wochen vorher planen und am Turniertag hinter den Ständen schwitzen ⚽ die Teams, die fair und mit vollem Einsatz um den Sieg kämpfen 👨👩👧👦 das Publikum, das zwischen Hüpfburg, Pommes und packenden Spielen einen rundum schönen Tag verbringt Und am Ende gewinnen alle: Rund 40.000 Euro kommen gemeinnützigen Projekten in der Region zugute. Danke an jede und jeden, der dabei war und diesen Tag zu dem gemacht hat, was er ist. Die schönsten Momente haben wir für euch zusammengeschnitten – viel Spaß beim Reinschauen! 🎬 Wer spenden möchte, kann das immer noch tun.

  • 🐉 First place again in Tianjin On June 19, Flender's dragon boat crew reclaimed the championship at the annual Hai He River race in Tianjin, crossing the line in 2 minutes 18 seconds, eleven seconds clear of the runner-up. After narrowly missing the top spot last year, the team is back on top. The race is part of the Dragon Boat Festival (Duanwu), one of China's oldest traditions, celebrated for more than 2,000 years on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. The Tianjin event is supported by the city and brings local companies together on the Hai He River each year. It's as much about culture and community as it is about competition. This was Flender's sixth year on the water, and the crew earned their seats a new way: an open, company-wide tryout, regardless of role or seniority. Anyone keen to compete got the chance to paddle. Huge congratulations to the whole Tianjin team. 🥇 Want to be part of a team like this?

  • Flender Dev Days 2026: Global. Code. AI. You. Coding, AI, and a global Flender developer network – that's what the Flender Dev Days 2026 were all about. For the second time, our software developers from different locations and business areas came together near Bocholt. Two days centered on modern technologies, artificial intelligence, and the future of software development at Flender. CFO Christian Terlinde kicked things off live from India: software development and AI are core building blocks of Flender's strategy, and our global network is a decisive success factor. The program was compact and hands-on: ✅ Microsoft sharing insights into agentic AI and the latest AI trends ✅ Hands-on workshops with Microsoft and Amazon Web Services (AWS) ✅ A panel discussion on the opportunities, challenges, and emerging roles in development ✅ The challenges of cybersecurity in an era of rapid AI advancement ✅ Previews of exciting AI innovations at Flender To close, the Gallery Walk showed just how much know-how already lives in our business units and how deeply AI has taken root across Flender. The result: two intensive days, an even more closely connected developer team, and plenty of momentum for what comes next. #Flender #FlenderDevDays #SoftwareDevelopment #ArtificialIntelligence #WeMoveTheWorld

  • Ausgezeichnet: Flender gewinnt den CIBA Award „Success Story of the Year"! Letzte Woche in Aachen wurde FLENDER ONE® in der Kategorie „Transform the Business" als beste Erfolgsgeschichte des Jahres prämiert – bei der allerersten Vergabe des Awards durch das CIBA (Center Integrated Business Applications) und das FIR an der RWTH Aachen University. Was uns besonders freut: In seiner Laudatio hob Dr. Christoph Kelzenberg (Phoenix Contact) hervor, dass unsere End-to-End-Digitalisierung einen echten Geschäftsbezug hat – und sich sogar auf andere Industrien übertragen lässt. Dr. Jan Reimann brachte es bei der Preisübergabe auf den Punkt: „2019 stand die Frage im Raum: Kann ein Maschinenbauer mit einem hoch variantenreichen Portfolio einen Großteil seiner Produkte automatisiert End-to-End abwickeln? Heute lautet die Antwort: Ja." Dieser Preis gehört den weit mehr als 150 Mitarbeitenden, die FLENDER ONE möglich gemacht haben. Danke an euch alle! 💙 #Flender #WeMoveTheWorld #UnlimitYourGearbox #FLENDERONE #CIBAAward #Digitalisierung #Maschinenbau #DriveTechnology

  • 🎉 30 years of Flender in China. 20 years of Winergy in China. Unforgettable celebrations in Tianjin. From 10–12 June, colleagues, customers, and partners came together at our Tianjin manufacturing base — the largest in the Flender network outside Germany — to mark three decades of growth, partnership, and engineering in China. A celebration of our people. The week opened with our teams at its center — honoring the colleagues who have been here since the very beginning and looking back on 30 years of shared milestones. A showcase for our customers. We welcomed customers, distributors, and guests from industry, government, and media to discover what comes next, including the launch of around ten new industrial solutions. Among the highlights: FLENDER ONE for flexible mounting positions, the AIQ condition-monitoring solution, and a new crane gearbox. A look ahead for wind. The celebration closed on the wind power that has defined Winergy China for 20 years, bringing together more than 100 customers and industry leaders to explore the future of the sector. Three decades in, we are proud of what we have built and how far we have come together. Alongside our partners, we will keep raising the bar in one of the world's most dynamic markets. To everyone who has shaped these 30 years: thank you. We are just getting started. To the future! #Flender #FlenderChina #WeMoveTheWorld #Winergy #Wind #InChinaForChina
