The visit demonstrates the importance of a direct connection between politics and medium-sized industry in the region.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Politics Meets Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the fall of 2019, Stephan Stracke, then a Member of the German Parliament, was our guest. The occasion was an <strong>exchange of ideas on an economic and political level<\/strong> with our Managing Director, Christian Reichert. For a medium-sized contract service provider like us, this dialogue is valuable: decisions in Berlin have a direct impact on local businesses, jobs, and investments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why the Kaufbeuren Location Matters to Us<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Since 1995, we have been soldering, annealing, and welding in Kaufbeuren out of passion and tradition. With our companies L\u00f6ttechnik Burkhard, Schwei\u00dftechnik Burkhard, and Burkhard Vertriebs GmbH (Spr\u00fchkopf), we are firmly rooted in the region. We provide vocational training here, create jobs, and invest in modern facilities. The visit confirms: a strong SME sector needs reliable framework conditions and an open exchange with policymakers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Member of the German Parliament Stephan Stracke visited the BURKHARD GROUP in Kaufbeuren for an economic-political exchange with Managing Director Christian Reichert.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4097,"menu_order":4,"template":"","news-kategorie":[12],"class_list":["post-4096","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news-kategorie-presse"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
