On the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and Girls, Falken Tyre Europe GmbH (Falken) is once again taking a stand against discrimination and abuse by illuminating the foyer of the City Tower in Offenbach in bright orange. With this, Falken aims to make it clear that violence against women has no place in society.
During the campaign period from November 25 to December 10, 2025, Falken has prepared something special for its employees: a reading. Under the title “Scars fade, but remain for a lifetime,” Udo Martens, a retired detective and former investigator with the Berlin State Criminal Police Office specialising in human trafficking and prostitution, will present his book. In it, he shares the moving stories of ten women who have experienced violence—domestic violence, stalking, or violence committed in the name of honor. Martens shows how these women found their way back to a self-determined life and what support helped them along the way. The reading will be moderated by Swantje Freifrau von Massebach, who will guide the afternoon and create space for discussion, context, and important perspectives.
“This is the fourth time that we are participating in the Orange Days—not only to send a symbolic message, but also to give a voice to people who all too often remain unheard. The event embodies, in a special way, respect for personality, individuality, and diversity—values that are firmly anchored in our self-image and therefore also in our Code of Conduct,” comments Jürgen Steuer, Manager Human Resources at Falken Tyre Europe GmbH, on the internal campaign.
Falken is reinforcing its position as a sporty, multi-segment tyre brand at THE TIRE COLOGNE 2026. The exhibition presence addresses the passenger car, off-road and commercial vehicle sectors alike, with a strong focus on the design of technical performance characteristics for use under realistic operating conditions.
Despite a strong performance, Falken Motorsports did not have the necessary racing luck at this year’s ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring. After an impressive comeback, the Japanese tyre manufacturer’s team was forced to end the race prematurely in the first half following an unfortunate accident. Up until that point, Klaus Bachler, Morris Schuring, Sven Müller, and Tim Heinemann had been battling for top positions in front of more than 350,000 spectators along the Nordschleife, steadily working their way up the field with consistently fast lap times.
The tyre brand Falken, which belongs to Dunlop Tyre Europe GmbH has been selected as one of three finalists for the inaugural Service Award. Presented by the Federal Association of Tyre Retailers and Tyre Repairers (BRV, Bonn), this new award recognises those in the tyre industry who, from the retail sector’s perspective in the passenger car/light commercial vehicle tyre segment, stand out for exceptional service and a trust-based partnership.
