Hannover Messe 2013: Chancellor visits ebm-papst stand

Mulfingen (pts020/08.04.2013/16:10) – Chancellor Angela Merkel informed herself today at the ebm-papst stand in Hanover about product innovations of the world market leader of fans and motors. Together with Russian President Vladimir Putin – Russia is the partner country of the Hannover Messe 2013 this year – she had the revolutionary diffuser AxiTop® demonstrated.

The world innovation, made partly from the biomaterial epylen®, which is used in cooling processes within industrial and power plants, was honoured with a Hermes Award nomination at the opening of the Hannover Messe on Sunday evening. The jury justified the award with an energy saving of up to 27% and a noise reduction of 7.2 dB(A).

Rainer Hundsdörfer, CEO of the ebm-papst Group: „We started with climate protection even before politicians knew how to deal with this issue properly.“ Chancellor Angela Merkel added: „When politics was still winding, you already built fans.“

Rainer Hundsdörfer concluded: The visit of the Chancellor and the Russian President is a great honour for us. We are delighted to present these high-ranking guests with the AxiTop® the next milestone within our GreenTech strategy. This recognises our technology leadership and commitment to environmental protection, resource conservation and the outstanding performance of our employees. ‘
