Did you know that Falken Tyre Europe GmbH now has 230 employees from 23 different nations? And what do these 230 people all have in common? They belong to the Falken Family of course!
On May 28, 2024, Falken is celebrating Diversity Day. To mark the event, Falken has invited all its ‘family’ to bring in specialities from their own kitchens and cultures. After all, the way to the heart is through the stomach! This will be a great opportunity to learn a little more about each other’s cultural background and there’s bonus points for those that come in traditional dress!
“Diversity Day is all about celebrating the richness of the world’s cultures. Our international buffet is intended to reflect the cultural diversity of Falken,” says Jürgen Steuer, Manager, Human Resources and General Affairs at Falken Tyre Europe GmbH. “As well as appreciating the differences between our people and respecting their values, beliefs and cultures, we are working hard to ensure that everyone has equal opportunities and are treated equally regardless of gender, age, origin, sexual orientation, disability or religion as our Falken Family grows.”
The German Diversity Day, initiated by the Charta der Vielfalt e. V., is an annual day of action in Germany that promotes diversity and inclusion in organisations.
This year Falken Tyre Europe GmbH is continuing its commitment to local institutions in Offenbach and is donating almost 6,000 euros in total. The donations will benefit four important initiatives that are actively involved in the areas of sport, social affairs and education and make an invaluable contribution to the community in the city of Offenbach.
Tyres for electric and hybrid vehicles have to satisfy special requirements: they should offer low rolling resistance, guarantee optimum traction on all surfaces and be able handle heavy loads at the same time. The Falken tyres meet these requirements. Since May 2023 and November 2023, Falken Tyre Europe has been supplying its e. ZIEX AO model in the 235/65R18 H XL and 255/60R18 H XL sizes to the Audi plant in Ingolstadt, where the successful AUDI Q6 e-tron is currently leaving the production lines.
Falken Tyre Europe GmbH will be making changes to its management team for January 2025: Thomas Langer will be taking over as Sales Director Germany Replacement at Falken. Thomas Langer began his career at Falken in 2010 as a sales representative for the region of Bavaria and Saxony/Thuringia and has been responsible for southern Germany as regional sales manager since 2018.
