The Piller Group marked the centenary of operations in Osterode am Harz, near Hannover, last Friday at a celebration attended by the company\u2019s employees, their families and much of the town\u2019s population.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The special day commenced with a small gathering at the Town Hall to sign the “Golden Book\u201d of the City.<\/p>\n

Adding their signatures to those of notable visitors to Osterode over the last 60 years, including many of Germany\u2019s Chancellor\u2019s, Mr Tony Langley, Chairman of Langley Holdings plc, Piller\u2019s parent company, and group board directors Mr Bernard Langley and Mr William Langley, were invited by Mayor Mr Klaus Becker, together with Piller Group Managing Directors, Dr Detlev Seidel and Mr Andrew Dyke, to sign the \u201cGolden Book\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"\"Mr Tony Langley, Chairman & Founder of Langley Holdings plc, Piller\u2019s parent company, signs the “Golden Book\u201d of the City of Osterode.<\/em><\/h6>\n

The party then proceeded to the town’s Spa Park Convention Centre to address Piller employees past and present.<\/p>\n

A photo exhibition of Piller\u2019s achievements, spanning more than 100 years, was on display at the Convention Centre.<\/p>\n

The event attracted more than 4000 visitors on the day, as many of the townspeople turned out to join the celebrations.<\/p>\n

Dr Detlev Seidel, Managing Director – Operations, said in his opening speech it was important to his fellow board colleagues and to their shareholder, that they focus on the people who make up the Piller company, as well as the company\u2019s commitment to the city and the region for this anniversary. He thanked the workforce and said how proud Anton Piller would be of the current owners and what they have achieved together with the Piller\u2019s employees, in recent years.<\/p>\n

\"\"Piller employees, past and present, attend the event<\/em><\/p>\n

Default Reflecting on the occasion, Langley said that when he first came to Piller, in the summer of 2004 it was a very different situation. “Somehow the vision that Anton Piller had had been lost, but slowly but surely Langley and the Piller management rebuilt that vision, making Piller the successful company it is today”.<\/p>\n

Reminiscent of American President John F Kennedy\u2019s famous 1961 \u201cBerlin Speech\u201d he went on to say, in a warmly received address:<\/p>\n

\u201cMore than 2000 years ago, in Ancient Rome, the proudest thing a man could say is \u201cI am a Citizen of Rome\u201d. Today, 15 years on from first coming here, I am proud to say that \u201cI am a citizen of Osterode\u201d. But more than that \u201cIch bin ein Pilleraner!\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"Ich bin ein Pilleraner!\u201d words reminiscent of American President John F Kennedy\u2019s famous 1961 \u201cBerlin Speech\u201d, Tony Langley addresses Piller Osterode employees.<\/em><\/p>\n

Default Celebrations went on through the evening into the night with fairground rides, food stalls, live music and other festivities, culminating in a \u201c100 Years in Osterode\u201d laser show at midnight.<\/p>\n

\"\"The \u201cPiller Fountain\u201d, a gift to the city of Osterode by Anton Piller in 1952 and restored by the company in 2017, is a focal point in the city\u2019s Spa Park.<\/em><\/h6>\n
