100 Years of Vision: The Legacy of our Founders

On March 21, we celebrated the 100th birthday of two extraordinary visionaries—Arnold and Anneliese Schmied. To mark this meaningful occasion, we honored their life's work and brought our company history to life.

We are the Silhouette Group.
We carry the legacy of our founders within us.

„As a team we are unbeatable.“ – Anneliese Schmied

After a touching opening speech, guests were invited to experience personal memories at four stations, where long-time employees shared stories expressing how much the company means to them. Their experiences brought our company's early days back to life and gave an impressive insight into how Arnold and Anneliese Schmied's legacy remains deeply rooted in our corporate culture to this day.

The intergenerational exchange—which brought together proud retired employees, old photo albums, and the inquisitive energy of the youngest generation—made it clear that the values and visions of our founders live on. Even those who never got to know Arnold and Anneliese Schmied personally felt a special connection with their mindset and pioneering spirit.
