Accompanied by the Chiefs of Mission of the Diplomatic Corps and representatives of international organisations in Germany, the Federal Minister will embark on a one-day tour of the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. In Kirn, the Federal President and his guests will be welcomed by Malu Dreyer, Minister President of Rhineland-Palatinate, and the Management Board and Supervisory Board of SIMONA AG.

"It is a tremendous honour for us to meet the Federal President as well as representatives of the Diplomatic Corps and international organisations here in Kirn. We will present SIMONA as an innovative, multinational plastics processing company that successfully combines a global presence with a strong commitment to the region in which it is based.

Above all, we will be focusing on our technical expertise that has been brought together at our new Technology Centre and on the people at SIMONA, covering a wide range of professional and vocational qualifications as well as an extensive pool of international talent," says CEO Wolfgang Moyses.

Update 04 September 2019:

Plans for the official tour by the Federal President and the Diplomatic Corps to the Rhineland-Palatinate region of Germany have changed. The aspects of nature and climate protection, the conservation of biodiversity and eco-friendly tourism are to take centre stage at a visit to the Hunsrück National Park. This is to take place on the day originally planned for the visit of SIMONA AG. Therefore, the Federal President will not be visiting SIMONA as part of his official tour. SIMONA regrets but fully appreciates the changes made to the schedule. The Federal President is welcome to visit SIMONA on any future occasion.
