Social Commitment

Social engagement is as important to us as our other business goals. Because only when we make our voluntary contribution to society, people in more difficult situations than we, do have the opportunity to participate in our success. In addition to financial support of social projects and associations, we also try with our expertise and our expertise, to inspire young people for the world of science and to support their research. Therefore we hope to create a better future for all the people of our society.

We are proud to support the following projects:

 

Känguruh

Heidolph employees donate to the local family center “Känguruh”

Heidolph Instruments GmbH & Co.KG is regularly involved in social projects and decided during the Christmas raffle 2018 to present the collected donations from the employees to the family center "Känguruh" in Schwabach.

The family center was founded in June 1999 by a group of young mothers to provide support to parents and children. Today the center is a place of conversation and exchange of experience in all areas of daily life.

 Thanks to the additional support of the management of Heidolph Instruments, a total of € 1,000 was presented as a cheque to Mrs. Eva Karl (1st board member) and Mrs. Dorothee Rohrweber (treasurer) on 19.03.2019.

During the following tour through the company Heidolph Instruments GmbH & Co.KG, Mrs. Karl remembered her studies. Some time ago Mrs. Karl studied chemistry and recognised various devices in the laboratories. The visitors were visibly surprised that a company is located in the immediate neighbourhood of the family center, which deals with the production and development of laboratory equipment.

Traumzeit e.V.

Heidolph Instruments GmbH & Co.KG is regularly involved in social projects and decided to support the association Traumzeit e.V. in the context of our Christmas campaign in 2016. Traumzeit e.V. is committed to making the greatest wishes of children with cancer come true and to bring them moments of smiles during these hard times. Be it meetings with celebrities, concerts and musical visits or trips to amusement parks. All this happens driven by the associations’ philosophy: fast, uncomplicated and free.

An employee of Heidolph Instruments personally benefited from this association, as a young man and brought up the idea to support Traumzeit e.V. He was fulfilled by Nadine Guggenberger (founder of Traumzeit e.V.) a heart's desire, and thus a few joyful hours away from the hospital, back in the days.

In 2016, Heidolph Instruments once again collected all the yearly company giveaways which arrive here at Christmas, in order to give them away to the employees as part of a raffle. As in the previous year, each employee received a free lot with a guaranteed prize. In return, the employees were able to donate voluntarily for Traumzeit e.V.

The Heidolph Instruments management tripled the outcome of the raffle. Thus, the initiators were able to hand over the proud amount of € 1,500 to Nadine Guggenberger and Traumzeit e.V. on March 2017.

  • creating opportunities for students, young people and students to independently research in the mathematical, scientific and technical disciplines (MINT subjects),

The manufacturer of laboratory equipment will provide financial support for the Jugend forscht foundation within the framework of a long-term cooperation in the next three years. Heidolph Instruments' youth research engagement is part of the family business's activities to bring young people to science and technology.

"Through research, we can improve people's health and living conditions. Research is an active way of shaping the future. Therefore, it is important, especially among young people, to arouse enthusiasm and passion for research at an early stage," says Deborah Zinsser, owner of Heidolph Instruments. "The support of the foundation Jugend forscht e. V. is a logical step for us to promote the interest of young people in mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology. For a strong future in Germany as a research location, we need above-average education and committed dynamic junior researchers. And last but not least, responsible companies that make this possible."

"We are very pleased to have gained another dedicated partner for Jugend forscht with Heidolph Instruments", says Dr. med. Sven Baszio, Managing Director of Jugend forscht e.V. "Through this funding, we can inspire even more young people for the MINT subjects. We are very interested in a long-term cooperation.

Initiative Jugendzentrum e.V. and other supporters ensure the introduction to the Open Lab and accompany the young people in their projects. The goal is to bring together people across generations, to share their knowledge and ideas, learn from each other, and creatively implement new projects.

Christmas lotery to support young people

During the yearly Christmas raffle, Heidolph Instruments collected donations from the employees for the Open Lab. This campaign met with benevolent approval from the management, which generously rounded up the collected donations.

In February, we presented the Open Lab and Initiative Jugendzentrum e.V. with a cheque of € 1,000 for the planned purchase of a laser cutter.

Heidolph's management also surprised the Initiative Jugendzentrum e.V. with a lavish donation of high-quality laboratory equipment, thus enabling the expansion of the working spectrum in the Open Lab.

 

DJK Abenberg

You don´t have to be a researcher in sports medicine, to know that physical activity is an essential foundation for a healthy body and mind. Especially for children and adolescents, activities like soccer or other sports are essential in a time of growing consumer electron.

We wanted to make a small contribution to the children in our region and decided to sponsor the youth football team of DJK Abenberg.

We hope the new jerseys will support the team in many successful and  fun soccer matches. We wish the young kickers good luck, fun and health.

Teamgeist made easy!
