Kr\u00e4uter Mix\u2019s new bell to ring three times a day throughout the company\u2019s production halls<\/h2>\n

From now on, the bell in Production Hall 12 will ring at 6am, 2pm and 10pm respectively to mark shift changes and signal the end of work. Its clear chime is a nod to a centuries-old tradition that structured daily life long before clocks became the norm.<\/p>\n

Erich Ey\u00dfelein, a retired Protestant pastor from Prichsenstadt, and Kai S\u00f6der, a Catholic priest in \u00dcchtelhausen\/Hesselbach, both brought this history to life at a non-denominational dedication service for the company bell.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”12564″ img_size=”large” image_hovers=”false”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The idea for a Kr\u00e4uter Mix bell came about almost by chance during the reconstruction of Hall 12 following a fire at the company. The project including a two-story installation shaft for a new sprinkler control center and substation, and the project team liked to joke it looked a bit like a church tower. \u201cWhile talking with our site manager Peter Schimmel, I came up with the idea \u2013 initially more as a joke \u2013 of adding a bell to the shaft,\u201d recalled Andr\u00e9 Metz, plant manager at Kr\u00e4uter Mix.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But the idea soon took on a life of its own. Schimmel, a civil engineer from Dettelbach, located a traditional bell foundry \u2013 the long-established company Grassmayr in Innsbruck \u2013 to cast Kr\u00e4uter Mix\u2019s very own bell. The site manager then generously decided to donate it to Kr\u00e4uter Mix. \u201cIt was a gesture of gratitude and recognition for our successful partnership on the Hall 12 reconstruction project,\u201d Schimmel explained.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=”20″][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]A new bell for a new hall<\/strong><\/p>\n

For safety reasons, the bell could not be installed in the originally intended location, but has instead found a fitting new home in a 13-foot niche in the new Hall 12. But this change in location is by no means a downgrade: the bell is already an important part of the hall and a powerful symbol of what teamwork can achieve. Bernhard Mix, Kr\u00e4uter Mix managing partner, also emphasized that the dedication additionally carries a symbolic wish for protection from dangers such as storms, rain or fire. Together with the construction and project team, he heard the bell ring for the first time at the dedication in Hall 12.<\/p>\n
