Together with the Finanzfuchsgruppe HANDBALL LIGEN AUSTRIA, we hosted the second HLA BUSINESS EVENING on 21 October. Under the motto “Just a handball’s throw away. From a good connection to the next idea."Around 40 guests enjoyed an evening of conversation, networking and exclusive insights. The highlight was a first look at our new premises, which are just 600 metres from the old ones."
Networking with a handball twist
The evening began with guests arriving, snacks and initial conversations. Our partnership took centre stage during the official welcome. We have been working with the Finanzfuchsgruppe HANDBALL LIGEN AUSTRIA since 2023, and this year we have extended the partnership until 2028.
He explained why we are involved with the league Stefan Just, Commercial Director at druck.at, in his opening address: “Handball and druck.at have a lot in common: the aim is to achieve the best result in the shortest possible time – and that’s only possible as a team. Just as with a fast and precise exchange of the ball, a perfect print job also requires seamless coordination from customer service right through to production. We support the Finanzfuchs Group HANDBALL LIGEN AUSTRIA because we believe in the power of teamwork. At the same time, our partnership strengthens the league financially and creates a platform where sport and business can learn from and benefit each other.”
Guided tour of the new site
This was followed by the highlight of the evening: the factory tour, organised into three staggered groups. The guests learnt about the latest developments at the site and were introduced to the machinery, processes and products. This sparked many conversations and questions, and quite a few guests were amazed at just how much technology and expertise goes into a printed product.
Prize draw and a cosy get-together
After the guided tours, there was plenty of time for networking over snacks and drinks. Two prize draws added to the fun: one person in each draw was delighted to receive a regional gift basket from Leobersdorf.
“The HLA BUSINESS EVENING was yet another successful example of just how valuable face-to-face meetings are. We are delighted to have druck.at as a partner at our side, a company that has been with us for many years and which, moreover, organises such evenings with such passion and has given us a glimpse behind the scenes at its new premises,” summarised Christoph Edelmüller, Managing Director of the Finanzfuchs Group HANDBALL LEAGUES AUSTRIA.
