Carl Stahl at the Electra Mining Southafrica 2018
20/07/2018
Potential gateway to the mining sector Since its foundation in 1972 the Electra Mining Fair takes place every two years. Last held from 10 - 14 September on the grounds of the Johannesburg Expo Centre. As an international exhibition for mining, industry, machine tools and electrical engineering, it is one of the leading trade fairs on the African continent. More than 600 exhibitors attracted well over 29,000 visitors from 59 countries to the South African metropolis. The Republic of South Africa is very rich in natural resources. Their promotion accounts for about 40 to 50% of export revenues. The country has the world's highest production volumes of chromium, platinum, manganese and vanadium. In addition, there are large deposits of gold, diamonds and coal. It is therefore not surprising that mining is an important economic factor in this country. Electra Mining as an international trade fair offers the exhibiting companies an ideal platform for presenting their products and services. Since the opening of the Carl Stahl site in Port Elizabeth on January 1, 2017, the mining sector has been one of the company's most important target groups. For this reason, Carl Stahl South Africa Pty Ltd. was represented at this year's trade fair with its own stand. The company exhibited its core range of rope, lifting and safety technology products on around 25 square metres in Hall 5. The focus was on lifting clamps, waste water pumps and manual hoists. During the five days of the trade fair, the team led by General Manager Ramona Anlauf was able to attract a large number of potential interested parties and hold good discussions. For Carl Stahl, this was the first trade fair on the African continent and thus a potential gateway to the mining sector.

Carl Stahl on another continent - New location in South Africa
07/02/2017
Carl Stahl on another continent - New location in South Africa Since 1.1.2017 it has been operational, the new Carl Stahl location in the Republic of South Africa. About 800 km from Cape Town, located in the port city of Port Elizabeth. According to Wikipedia, the Republic of South Africa is one of the most developed economic areas on the continent. South Africa is the only African country to be a member of the G20 economic powers and, thanks to its dynamic economic development, is also one of the so-called BRICS countries. This is Carl Stahl's first location on the African continent and therefore an important strategic step in opening up these markets. Due to its size, structure and nature, the country's classical industry is concentrated primarily in the conurbations and catchment areas of the larger cities. Johannesburg, the capital Pretoria, Port Elizabeth and Cape Town are no longer just holiday destinations but centres of a constantly developing economy. Its wealth of mineral resources has given rise to mining in South Africa as a major economic sector and is therefore extremely interesting as a target group for Carl Stahl products. But German car manufacturers such as Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and MAN and their suppliers also produce here. These companies pay great attention to security in their operations and workflows and are therefore ideal business partners. They belong to the 600 or so German companies that have established themselves in South Africa and employ over 90,000 people. A total of 5 employees in administration and warehouse offer the companies the proven Carl Stahl program in the field of rope and lifting technology. Under the leadership of Ramona Anlauf, the product range is to be supplemented in the near future by special after-sales services such as Integrated Services. Managing Director Wolfgang Schwenger is certain that the South African location will develop successfully: With the establishment of the first Carl Stahl location on the African continent, we are continuing our strategic orientation of proximity to our customers in a future-oriented manner.

Impressive craftsmanship from the finest apprentices
23/12/2016
Carl Stahl’s Tina Lehnigk is the national champion. Within the scope of the European Vocational Skills Week, which the EU Commission this year used to highlight the major importance of vocational training, awards were presented to the best apprentices of skilled crafts in Germany at a ceremony held in Münster on 10 December 2016. Tina Lehnigk from Carl Stahl Süd GmbH’s Munich site was named national champion in the vocational profession of rope-making. EU Commissioner Marianne Thyssen congratulated the winners of the ‘Leistungswettbewerb des Deutschen Handwerks (PLW – Profis leisten was)’ (‘National skilled crafts championships (pros at work)’) by video message. Garrelt Duin, State Minister for Economic Affairs of North Rhine-Westphalia, presented the winner’s certificate to the first-place national champion together with ZDH Chairman Hans Peter Wollseifer and Chairman of the Münster Chamber of Industry and Commerce Hans Hund. The certificate is signed by German President Joachim Gauck, patron of the annual competition. An award was also presented to the winner of the design contest ‘Die gute Form im Handwerk – Handwerker gestalten’ (‘Excellence in craftsmanship – artisans design’). Some 3,000 recently examined apprentices took part in the national qualifiers at up to three levels (guilds, chambers of industry and commerce and trade associations). 816 contenders then competed at national level. With females accounting for some 35 percent of the national winners, it is clear that a growing number of women are looking for and finding their future in skilled crafts. In 125 competition professions (including specialist disciplines), the top three accolades were awarded to 266 competitors, with 117 first-place national champions, 88 second-place national champions and 61 third-place national champions. With 38 of the 117 first-place national champions, Bavaria is the most successful state this year, followed by Baden-Württemberg with 24. The 65th ‘Leistungswettbewerb des Deutschen Handwerks (PLW – Profis leisten was)’ and the competition ‘Die gute Form im Handwerk – Handwerker gestalten’ were this year organised by the Münster Chamber of Industry and Commerce. The competition sponsors, the Zentralverband des Deutschen Handwerks (German Confederation of Skilled Crafts – ZDH) and the Stiftung für Begabtenförderung im Handwerk (Foundation for Talent Promotion in Skilled Crafts – SBB), were supported in the execution by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi). "Die gute Form im Handwerk – Handwerker gestalten" competition This year’s ‘Die gute Form’ competition was held in 32 professions. The national competition aimed to sustainably promote creative design and aesthetics even during training. It highlighted the great importance of form and design in various skilled trades – especially for young people who can develop in these with a great deal of creativity. In the first three winners’ categories, 25 people were named first-place award winners, 14 second-place award winners and 10 third-place award winners.
