Fendt plant donates to special education centre

On 13 December, the Fendt plant in Feucht donated €2,000 to the special education centre in Irchenrieth, Germany. The money will go directly to the workshop group, which pre-assembles tine carriers for rake production in Feucht.

On Wednesday 13 December, a team from the Fendt Futterente plant in Feucht set off on a 100-kilometre journey with a cheque in the boot. The cheque is destined for one of the many workshop groups at the special education centre in Irchenrieth, which is primarily responsible for supplying components to German industrial companies. The group belonging to the metal workshop assembles pre-delivered individual parts into finished tine carriers for the forage harvesting technology plant in Feucht.

"We have had a partnership with the HPZ workshops for many years and the quality of the work delivered is always very good. Jochen Gnann and his management team therefore wanted to make a donation this time to these employees, who make an important contribution to our machines," says Teresa Ernst, Teamlead Controlling Feucht. "We are particularly pleased that the money donated will go directly to the people in the "rake tine assembly group". It is at their disposal and that of the group management, and I am looking forward to hearing about the wonderful things they have experienced with it."

About the special education centre

The special education centre in Irchenrieth is run by a non-profit association that is committed to promoting inclusion. The association was founded in 1965 by parents of disabled people and was able to open several locations with different specialisations in the years that followed. The various workshops specialise in woodworking and carpentry, metalworking and processing, electronics, gardening and landscaping. They supply parts for large industrial companies in the region and are involved in vocational training. Almost 500 disabled people work in the workshop in Irchenrieth, producing or assembling metal parts or components for production companies, for example. Today, the organisation operates a variety of facilities for children, young people and adults.
