Christmas greetings 2021

Dear business partners,

In 2021, the Corona virus continued to dominate our daily lives and business. We have all adapted to the restrictions and found our own ways of dealing with it, as a result of which there were fortunately few effects in business relationships this year.

The year 2021 has again meant some changes at Andernach & Bleck. The implementation of our new treatment state +POS^® has progressed very well and we are able to offer you products that can facilitate and streamline your processes.

The sale of the two trading companies Heine & Bleck GmbH, Hermsdorf and Roland Stahl GmbH, Bremen, is the next step in the realignment of our company. We would like to take this opportunity to once again thank all employees and business partners of both companies for the great and always trustful cooperation and wish them all the best.

Our goal for the future is to focus even more on our core competence - bright steel production. There are many opportunities there to optimize products for you. We will use these even more to offer you tailored solutions for your end products.

This year, too, we would like to refrain from sending Christmas gifts. Instead, we are giving gifts to charitable organizations whose work we greatly appreciate and whose commitment makes a big difference:

• The children's hospice service Sternentreppe im Caritas e.V., Hagen
• BSH Betrieb für Sozialeinrichtungen Hagen gem. GmbH Jugendhilfe Selbecke

We wish you and your loved ones good health and happy hours with your family.

Hagen-Halden, in December 2021
