A day of openness, appreciation and community: at the Family Day in Könnern, BUTTING gave around 250 guests an insight into the production site - and showed how strongly economic success is linked to practised values and a strong sense of togetherness.
On 10 May 2025, BUTTING hosted a family day in Könnern - and opened the factory gates to employees, their families, friends and guests of honour. Around 250 guests accepted the invitation, a strong signal of solidarity with 70 employees. They experienced a celebration that offered exciting insights into production and, above all, made one thing visible: the values that BUTTING lives by every day.
Managing Director Henning Lütkemüller opened the event by welcoming those present with clear words: "We can look back on a successful 2024 - and this day is our way of thanking everyone who has contributed to this success with their commitment, loyalty and trust."
2024 was an economically strong year for the Könnern site. A project in the LNG sector ensured the capacity utilisation of the 12-metre sheet metal pipe production facility. In addition, BUTTING is ideally positioned with a long-term strategy, sustainable investments in modern production technologies and a clear commitment to its sites and employees.
During the guided tours of the production facilities, the guests were given exciting insights into the world of materials and welding technology. Video sequences made technical processes tangible and understandable - in line with the company's guiding principle: "We are an international family of employees - and yet we see ourselves as learners every day."
The popular BUTTING rally gave visitors the opportunity to test their knowledge in a fun way. Small rewards from the company's own fan shop added to the fun - and showed that technology at BUTTING is not just about precision, but also about teamwork, passion and enthusiasm.
The colourful supporting programme offered entertainment for young and old: the youngest guests enjoyed the bouncy castle, face painting station and hands-on activities organised by the youth fire brigade, the carnival club and the local fitness studio Atrium for the Hansefit benefit programme. At the same time, the adults had the opportunity to chat over delicious food and drinks.
Owner Hermann Butting also took the opportunity to attend in person. In an open exchange with employees and guests, he demonstrated the down-to-earth attitude and closeness that have characterised the family business for generations.
The Family Day in Könnern was a living community - characterised by openness, responsibility and the strong togetherness of our family of employees. It showed what makes BUTTING special: economic success based on cohesion and shared values.
BUTTING - more than pipes - for a better quality of pipes
