The IGK Christmas party, to which the Hasselroth workforce was invited to an Italian restaurant, went off in high spirits. In addition to a multi-course meal, there were lots of tasty and useful gifts waiting for the employees, including a woolly hat with the company logo and their own name for everyone to wear in the cold season.

IGK founder and long-standing Chairman of the Management Board, Dr. Michael Vollrath-Rödiger, presented the gifts personally and expressed his thanks for the good working relationship. In his speech, he announced that he had handed over the chairmanship of the management board to James Rodo, who has been managing IGK North America for several years and will continue to drive forward the globalization of the company.

James Rodo also greeted the guests via a live link from North America and wished them a Merry Christmas. He said he was very much looking forward to his new role and announced that he would be visiting Hasselroth soon. Dr. Michael Vollrath-Rödiger will remain associated with the company as Managing Partner.
