Red-winged blackbird: [Agelaius phoeniceus], Icteridae family (starlings)
Territories: North America, Central America, Caribbean
Red-winged blackbirds are active in the daytime. They spend most of their
time busily looking for food, and hardly ever allow themselves to take a
break. They are considered powerful fl ying birds. Migratory groups of redwinged
blackbirds can cover distances of up to 5,000 kilometres.
More than 1,700 people work for Röhlig – diff erent personalities, all contributing
their own talents and drive to give our company its unique dynamic.
Our employees come from 35 countries. Many diverse cultures shape our
company and give it a vibrant energy. The Röhlig policy of exchanging staff
between branches ensures that people from diff erent cultural backgrounds
work together and learn from one another. This is undoubtedly one reason
why we are so successful in quickly gaining a foothold in new markets.
Röhlig has an international structure – not a claim, but a fact. And it applies
equally to our management with executives from a variety of countries entrusted
with a range of tasks. That’s an area where we are even slightly ahead
of some “global players”.
This dynamic is refl ected in our operating fi gures: sales, gross profi t and
staff numbers have all grown steadily over the last years. Our company has
developed excellently. We take an optimistic view of the challenges that lie
ahead.
In future we will continue to look for resourceful and committed staff and
engage them long-term. This is the only way to ensure Röhlig remains a vibrant,
dynamic company.
