Another milestone has been reached: our new FASANA magic moments napkin collection for the year 2025 has officially gone into production and will be presented at the next TrendSet!

It is always a very special, even magical moment when the final new designs go into production and we can finally hold them in our hands. This phase marks the transition from months of creative work – from the initial design idea and trends to the raw paper produced on our paper machine to production as a finished printed napkin in our print shop.

Our new collection reflects exactly what FASANA magic moments stands for: stylish lifestyle napkins that are not only functional, but also real highlights on the table. The designs have been developed with a great deal of love and are designed to evoke emotions and emphasize special moments. Whether for festive occasions, birthday parties or simply to add a touch of magic to everyday life.

We are particularly pleased to be able to present the new FASANA magic moments collection live at the upcoming TrendSet in Munich. The trade fair offers us the ideal opportunity to present our latest designs to the trade public and to create a successful 2025 together. It is always an exciting experience to see the immediate reaction of trade visitors and to be able to discuss our products with them.

We at FASANA attach great importance to safety. Last Wednesday, we held another on-site first-aider training course at the company. Our employees received comprehensive training in life-saving first aid measures so that they can act quickly and safely in an emergency. A well-trained workforce not only contributes to accident prevention, but also creates a safer and more trusting working environment.

With a total of 86 first aiders, we currently achieve a rate of almost 37% of the workforce in Stotzheim – well above the 10% required by the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV).

 

Our family summer party took place last weekend, giving our employees the opportunity to spend a relaxing day with their families on the company premises.

Whether young or old, there was something for everyone: in addition to great activities and delicious food, participants had the opportunity to exchange ideas, make new contacts and enjoy time together. There were numerous play and entertainment options for the children, while the adults were able to take advantage of the family atmosphere to get away from the daily grind.

A big thank you goes to the organizing team and everyone who helped to make this day so special.

 

A warm welcome! Our new trainees have arrived and are embarking on a promising future

We are delighted to welcome our seven new apprentices this year. They are taking their first step into an exciting and instructive professional future with us at the plant. The start of an apprenticeship not only marks the beginning of a new chapter in life, but also the opportunity to acquire valuable skills and become part of a dedicated team.

On August 1, the time had come: our new apprentices started their jobs. They were warmly welcomed by the management, the trainers and the training mentors from the various departments. At a welcome event, they had the opportunity to gain an initial insight into our company, get to know their trainers and network with each other.

Diversity and commitment
Our new trainees bring with them a wide range of talents and interests. From budding industrial clerks, media technologists, industrial mechanics and electronics technicians for industrial engineering to machine and plant operators and warehouse logistics specialists – the diversity of our apprenticeships reflects our conviction that different perspectives and skills enrich and advance our company.

Induction and first impressions
During the first few days, the focus is on induction. The trainees were given comprehensive information about the company structure, safety regulations and the various departments. The trainees were particularly enthusiastic about the opportunity to explore the plant on a detailed tour. During the tour, they experienced our paper machine as well as the printing and processing systems in action.

Mentoring and support
We pay particular attention to mentoring our trainees. Regular exchanges and intensive learning sessions with the training managers are a matter of course at FASANA. This personal support ensures that our junior staff settle in quickly and can make the most of their training period.

Outlook and expectations
We are convinced that our new trainees have the best prerequisites to successfully complete their training and make valuable contributions to our company. Over the coming months, they will gain a wide range of experience, work on various projects and develop their professional and personal skills step by step.

Together into the future
Our aim is not only to train the apprentices professionally, but also to support them on their way to becoming responsible and committed specialists. We look forward to going down this path together. We are looking forward to the positive impetus that our new colleagues will provide in the coming years.

Once again, a warm welcome to our new trainees! We wish you a successful and fulfilling apprenticeship at our plant.

FASANA at the summer TrendSet in Munich

From July 6 to 8, 2024, the FASANA team was on site at the TrendSet in Munich and presented the FASANA magic moments napkin highlights Autumn Winter 2024 to the specialised trade and retailers. TrendSet is an international trend and order trade fair for the retail trade. There were many varied and diverse discussions at the trade fair stand, where, among other things, the latest ideas were exchanged in direct contact. Customers were welcomed back and new customers were acquired and, of course, orders were placed. Thanks to everyone involved who contributed to the successful trade fair appearance.

It’s official: the pheasant is back.

We, FASANA, are continuing to position ourselves for the future. Our more than 100-year tradition has been visible in the company name since the beginning of 2022: the former keeeper tableware GmbH became FASANA GmbH.

This month, we are taking the next steps: the pheasant will appear together with the word FASANA in our corporate brand.

The pheasant in all its glory – with its variety of colors and its gourmet elegance – was the inspiration for the founding of the Halstrick paper mill in 1919 by Adolf Halstrick, a passionate hunter. However, it was not until 1947 that the special animal made its first appearance, when the FASANA brand was developed, which from then on accompanied the napkin business of the then Halstrick OHG under the management of Walter Anton Viktor Halstrick. The variety of napkins produced in terms of shape, color and motifs was intended to be reminiscent of the magnificent plumage of the pheasant. However, Walter Halstrick was not only interested in the visual attributes of the name, but was also well versed in mythology. Here, the pheasant is seen as a bringer of luck and prosperity, it unfolds wealth and beauty and is a symbol that projects and plans will be successful. The pheasant was proved right.

In addition to the newly registered trademark, our company claim “Hospitality in every napkin” will support us in driving our mission and vision forward in all our business activities, both internally and externally. If we – as ambassadors for hospitality – are enthusiastic about the napkin, it will also inspire our customers and their customers. We have it in our hands today what our customers will use in the future – whether at a romantic candlelight dinner, at breakfast with the family, at the currywurst on the corner or as a little helper for spontaneous greetings. We connect people and offer hospitality in every napkin. We are driven by our mission “Simply fibrous”, because we focus on our strength: we live napkins and do so with every single one of our fibers.

Last weekend, this year’s summer party took place under the motto “We strengthen togetherness and promote sociability and motivation”. FASANA employees celebrated in the open air in the garden of the villa on the company premises with the best culinary, Mediterranean food. Many took the opportunity to catch up with each other, meet new colleagues from other departments and enjoy the shared atmosphere with live music – with a choice of saxophone, clarinet or bagpipes – on a balmy summer evening. Later in the evening, a regional ice cream van surprised everyone in attendance.

We are delighted that the event was so well received and will look back on it fondly.

Once again, we proved that we at FASANA can organize and celebrate parties. Thanks to the entire organization team and all employees who made the party a collective highlight of the year.

Our potential lies in training. We are proud that 10 young people started their careers at FASANA on August 1, 2023. The prospective industrial clerks, industrial mechanics, electronics technicians for industrial engineering, warehouse logistics specialists and paper technologists were warmly welcomed by their trainers, managers and the works council. They are now embarking on an exciting and instructive time and a great opportunity to help shape and create unique moments at FASANA. Colleagues Justine Weber and Tanja Bauerfeind ensured an all-round successful start.

The training position for media technologists is still open. The quickest way is via the short application here on our website: Direct link to the short application at FASANA.

And of course you can also apply now for the next training year: My apprenticeship start at FASANA. We look forward to seeing you.

Finally, the time has come: For the very first time, we present the new FASANA magic moments collection to the trade. In addition to a diverse selection of cellulose napkins, we also offer napkins made from alternative raw materials: Grass napkins use a regional and rapidly renewable raw material that is produced in a very water- and energy-conserving way. With the Cotton-Mix napkins, we refine a by-product that is left over from cotton oil production and thus give a residual material a second life as a fine dinner napkin.

The trade fair will kick off in Munich at TrendSet from July 9-11, 2022, where we will be located in Hall B2, Booth D42. Two weeks later, from July 23-25, 2022, we will be in Hamburg at Nordstil in Hall A.4, Booth A68. Your magic moments team on site (Torsten Meier, Ulf Dieter Kriebel, Päivi Thelen and Anke Schäfer) is looking forward to your visit. Come join us!
