BOGE employees celebrated 100-year company anniversary

Under a bright blue sky

The sky over Jöllenbeck was bright and just as blue as the company colour. And hundreds of active and former employees of the long established and tradition rich BOGE company had come with their families to celebrate a great big anniversary party on the company grounds on Sunday, August 12, 2007.
Beautiful summer weather and great music by the Bielefeld groups 'Randale' and 'United Voices' to boost up the party.
Presenter Björn Sassenroth enjoyed leading through a day full of variety centering around compressed air and including many actions for the entire family to join in with and accompanied by exquisite delights.
In the afternoon, '99 + 1' air balloons went up into the sky under musical accompa-niment to symbolically confirm that, even after its 100 years of existence, BOGE's future is in the air.
BOGE Kompressoren was founded in Bielefeld by Otto Boge back in 1907. The company is now run by its fourth generation of the same family and currently employs 550 people worldwide. Great-grandson and managing director of the company Wolf D. Meier-Scheuven: 'For a family run enterprise, such a family celebration is a wonderful token of team spirit.'
