“My Work, My Passion, My Klüber”

Last year, Klüber Lubrication China celebrated its 20th anniversary. In December, roughly 300 Klüber Lubrication China employees gathered to participate in the event in Shanghai.

An ancient Chinese proverb states: “A long journey can only be covered by taking one step at a time.” The meaning of the proverb is that you will never reach your goal if you do not take the first step. In 2002, Klüber planted the first seeds and took its first step to turn the seedlings into a towering tree.

Twenty years on: Donna Lam, General Manager Finance & Administration, and a long-standing employee of Klüber Lubrication China, kicked off the anniversary celebrations in Shanghai with a review of the company’s performance. The Beijing, Chengdu, Guangzhou, and Hong Kong subsidiaries followed sharing stories recalling the history of the past 20 years, in line with the event’s theme: “My Work, My Passion, My Klüber.”

Sebastian Homborg, General Manager of Sales & Marketing and Dr. Stefan Seemeyer, General Manager of Technology & R&D, then shared their expectations for the company’s future and set out both the goals and challenges for the next phase of development. Speaking at the event, Homborg said: “First, let’s remember and thank all those who have contributed to this milestone. I’m certain there will be many pioneering and open-minded Klüberians at Klüber Lubrication China willing to shape the next business period – the period of adulthood – whatever the challenges the company must face.”

Expressing his confidence in the company, Dr. Seemeyer continued: “The current economic downswing is not the first and will certainly not be the last. Since Klüber is a broadly diversified company, we have always weathered the storms well. Given the current market conditions, our performance today is strong.  Never forget, Klüber is a hidden champion that has delivered outstanding year-on-year results.”
