145 employees of the Upper Austrian aerospace group FACC have celebrated their anniversaries of service. The Upper Austrian technology partner of the aerospace industry, which was established 30 years ago, honored its long-standing employees at the anniversary celebration held at the Loryhof in Wippenham.

"Our customers include all major players of the aerospace industry, and we produce high-tech components for the mobility of the future. Just a few months ago, Airbus and Rolls-Royce awarded us the status of Best Improver and Best-in-Class Supplier. Such awards of FACC can always be traced back to the names, experience and achievements of committed FACC employees," declared Robert Machtlinger at the opening of the celebrations. The FACC Management Board members personally thanked the 145 jubilarians for a combined 2,365 years of loyal service to the company. The tribute was accompanied by a look back at the past thirty years.

Three decades of FACC

Long-standing employees celebrating their tenth, fifteenth, twentieth, twenty-fifth or thirtieth anniversaries in 2019 were invited to take part in the anniversary ceremony. The aerospace group FACC is also celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. Ten members of staff have been with the company since it was founded thirty years ago and have thus contributed significantly to FACC’s success for three decades. "30 years that have just flown by - with ups and some challenges, but always heading towards new heights. We have grown from a pioneering group to an international company and continue to have a positive outlook on the future - there will be challenges, no doubt, but we will master them together. That's why I like being part of this team," explains Manfred Standhartinger, Senior Manager Tool Engineering.

The aerospace company FACC has its roots in skiing. In 1989, the already independent department was spun off from the Fischer group and founded as a separate company. "I was particularly impressed to see how our small team steadily grew over the years. More and more new and varied tasks were introduced, and during my 30 years with FACC I was able to work on many impressive projects," Josef Gross comments with regard to his thirty-year history with FACC.
