You only turn 100 once
An anniversary that brings us together – with everyone who makes Enke what it is

2024 was a very special year for Enke. 100 years of company history – that calls for a celebration. And that’s exactly what we did: with customers, partners, long-standing associates, staff and friends – over the course of several months, in many different locations and in a wide variety of formats. Sometimes loud, sometimes quiet. Sometimes formal, sometimes very personal. But always together.

A special send-off – a party just for us

After more than three quarters full of get-togethers, it was time at the end of October for a moment just amongst ourselves. An evening on which the entire Enke team – from current staff to former colleagues who have now retired – came together to celebrate the anniversary in a very personal setting.

Starting with a group visit to the Apollo Varieté in Düsseldorf, we then headed straight to the Enke factory. In our lovingly refurbished Hall 5, a festive evening awaited us with all the trimmings: a buffet, a cocktail bar, a DJ, karaoke and a dance floor – and, above all, a great deal of warmth and goodwill.

A look back – for everyone who’s been with us

Even though this evening was all ours, we’d like to share some glimpses of it. In pictures. In moments. In memories. Because Enke’s 100th anniversary wouldn’t have been possible without all of you out there.

Thank you for being part of this story.

A look back filled with emotion – a look ahead filled with pride

A highlight of the evening: the moving speech by the father-and-son management team, accompanied by a surprise, lovingly crafted live performance recounting Enke’s company history – organised and performed by staff from all departments. 

What followed? Lots of music, a lively atmosphere – and a genuine sense of togetherness that will live long in the memory.
