ATP opened Saturday, 13.06.2015 in Germany its latest state of the art production plant for water-based adhesive coatings. In the presence of local councilors from the village of Mihla, the owning family, employees and their families and the mechanical engineering company, the executive general contractor company Vollack handed a "Poseidon" statue, to ‘protect the good fortunes of the new company.'
The opening ceremony was followed by a summer festival for more than 500 guests. Regular guided tours of the new facility were offered throughout the day and guests of all ages enjoyed carriage rides, Segway rides and fun on a large bouncy castle.
