Pikatron celebrates summer party at the new location in Haan
The best opportunity to bring all colleagues together in a happy, exuberant mood is a party.
What could be better than a summer party at the new location in Haan?
Many colleagues from all six Pikatron locations came together last week in the best weather to celebrate and get an impression of the new location. The atmosphere was relaxed and, in addition to delicious food, there was lots of laughter and dancing.
A big thank you to the team in Haan for organizing this festival.
Pikatron Usingen - Another production hall is being built (Part 9)

Pikatron is part of the Global Compact network
We at Pikatron fully share the GlobalGoals of a sustainable and future-proof supply chain, sustainability is a central component of responsible corporate governance for us. We have been active on various aspects of sustainability for decades and have been involved in regional sustainability projects since 2008. To mark our long-term commitment to advancing sustainability we just joined the United Nations Global Compact and Global Compact Netzwerk Deutschland e.V.. It is particularly important for us to reaffirm our commitment to sustainability and the TenPrinciples considering current global challenges. Therefore, we are now also using the Deutsche Nachhaltigkeitskodex as an introduction to uniform sustainability reporting.
Mayor visits Pikatron
Steffen Wernard: "Pikatron is a very important company in and for Usingen"
Yesterday, Usingen's mayor Steffen Wernard visited the largest Pikatron location together with Ute Harmel from the business development agency. The visitors were enthusiastic about the positive development of the Pikatron Group, which has grown steadily since the last visit in 2019 and now employs over 500 people (200 of them in Usingen). In addition to the ongoing production, the construction site of the new production hall was of course also visited.
