Flottweg Doubles Employee Donations in Support of Adiuvantes-SAPV – Honoring a Longtime Colleague

As an internationally active company with strong regional roots, Flottweg has supported social and charitable initiatives in the local community for many years. This year, employees sent a particularly meaningful message of solidarity during the company’s annual holiday celebration — prompted by personal loss and in quiet remembrance of a colleague who recently passed away.

Alexander Wimmer, a longtime employee who was part of the Flottweg family for over 25 years and most recently worked in Industrial Engineering, was held in high regard by many — both professionally and personally. In his honor, his colleagues launched a donation campaign benefiting the local Oncology Support Association, which includes Adiuvantes-SAPV, the specialized outpatient palliative care service that cared for Alexander with great compassion during his final days. The initiative was sparked by the company’s dedicated “St. Nicholas Team,” a group traditionally active at every employee holiday celebration — and of which Alexander himself had been a valued member. The response across the workforce was overwhelming: employees collectively contributed more than €3,500.

Flottweg’s Executive Board felt strongly about recognizing this commitment while honoring their colleague’s memory. In response, the company matched and increased the total donation, bringing it to €7,000.

“The compassion and unity shown by our employees deeply moved us,” said Dr. Kersten Christoph Link, CEO of Flottweg. “Supporting this initiative was truly a matter of the heart. Adiuvantes‑SAPV provided extraordinary care to our colleague during a very difficult time. We are grateful to help ensure that others in our community can also benefit from this special form of support.”
