New Dimensions 2011 - Rhomberg Bau

We look back...
...over a very eventful, interesting 2010
“The time is right for reducing consumption” – interview
with Prof. Friedrich Schmidt-Bleek
In June 2010, Hubert Rhomberg invited all interested members
of staff to an exclusive interview with Prof. Friedrich
Schmidt-Bleek. The environmental researcher and author
was given the nickname “Bio” to reflect the fact that he has
created the term “ecological rucksack” – which could be
seen as the ecological counterpart to a product’s price in
the shop. His very informative presention was concluded
with an interesting discussion about sustainability – the
central subject of our strategy.
Innotrans Berlin
Innotrans Germany, the “International Trade Fair for
Traffic Engineering – Innovative Components, Vehicles,
Systems” which ran from 21 to 24 September 2010,
attracted over 106,000 visitors from 110 countries to
its 150,000 square metres of exhibition space. The
Bahntechnik group was one of the 2,242 exhibitors
from 45 countries and was represented by staff from
all branches. This year there was a real rush of visitors:
customers, partners, suppliers and interested parties
from all over the world came to the stand to discuss
cooperation and future projects. Presentations about
ZOKA and HandraiLIT were much appreciated.
p End-of-year party 2009/2010
It is traditional that the Rhomberg group comes together
for an end-of-year celebration on the last day
of the year. The owner family, the group coordinators
and many employees came together in the foyer of
the office building in Bregenz, Austria. Ernst Thurnher
gave a summary of the business year as well as an
outlook for the coming year. He emphasised that
“The Rhomberg group is on solid ground: compared
with the industry standard, the company has a better
equity base than most. This puts the Rhomberg
group in a secure position, even if times are difficult
from a business point of view.” Both hosts and
guests concluded the evening with culinary delights.
p Cocktail at REAL VIENNA
Real Vienna in Austria is an exhibition for Austrian, Central and Eastern
European property professionals dealing with commercial property and
investment. This year, in May, the Vienna exhibition ground opened its
doors for the fifth time to almost 7,000 visitors and 220 exhibitors. The
programme included a range of high-profile lectures and discussion
forums and there was plenty of opportunity for forging new contacts and
renewing old ones. Rhomberg Bau did not have a stand at the exhibition
but used it for another event aimed at a specific target group. In cooperation
with the PKF hotel experts, we invited a number of hotel investors
to a cocktail party where we presented the “Storchengrund” project in
Vienna.
