30 years of synchronous engine construction in Bremerhaven

We have been building modular synchronous engines in Bremerhaven since 10 July 1984, first by Hasselbach & Kausch and then by Rotek since 2000. This anniversary was celebrated by Rotek on 11 July 2014 with a barbecue feast at the Coloradostrasse site.

Also three of our employees celebrate their anniversary this year: Peter Adu-Gyamfi, who has worked for Rotek since 20 years and Andreas Fech and Eugen Jakobi, both of them since 10 years.
