A few days ago, Gerhard Schmidpeter, our former colleague and authorised signatory, visited us in Oberhaching. He worked for Paul M. Müller for 41 years and retired from the company in 2017. At 73, he is fit and full of energy. Over a shared lasagne meal - cooked with Adria peeled tomatoes, of course - there was time to talk about old times and look ahead to today. Encounters like this stay with you - even after your working life is over. Our photo shows Gerhard Schmidpeter - framed by (from left) Fabian Kretschmer, Eduard Kekel, Isabella Gambs and Thomas Schneidawind.
