The winter webinars have started

We’ve started a campaign of Winter Webinars to present to you Pool Products we manufacture in the CF Group.

We will present one theme per week with a specialist who can explain it in English. The idea is that these presentations can then be used in each of your Countries by translating them in your language for you to present the Quality CF Products to your Customers.

Each Tuesday at 10:30 we will use the Teams Broadcast to present the various products to you. Last Spring we also did this and we hope to have worked out the kinks in the broadcasting so that we can all be on the same page. If you have questions or you need the invitation link please contact Jeff Boynton.

CF Group – sponsor of the Stay Foundation

Convinced by the vision and work of Stay, CF Group, as part of the campaign “Entrepreneurs for Entrepreneurs”, has been supporting the Foundation since last year as a sponsor of the highest category “Visionary”.

The Stay Foundation supports the target group of “The Active Poor” and promotes business start-ups, farmers and micro-enterprises with know-how and start-up capital. “The Active Poor” are women, men and young people who live in poverty, but who are extremely committed, creative and inquisitive and have the goal of freeing themselves from poverty. To reach “The Active Poor”, Stay uses a network of local social entrepreneurs in Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda. According to the principle of local self-determination, decisions are made by the local social entrepreneurs – not by Western development workers or funding agencies!

We will present current projects, which we support, here from time to time. If you want to get more information, you are welcome to watch a video (in German with English subtitles) about the vision of Stay.

Land purchase in Switzerland

Now it’s official! The CF Group has land in Switzerland for the first time in its history! It’s about 3400 m² on which the new administration and operating site (as incident storage) with a total of 928 pallet spaces of CF Group Switzerland will arise. Thus the two current locations “Muri” and “Rothrist” will be united under one roof.

Construction is scheduled to start in August 2021 and occupation is planned for the fall of 2022.

Great teamwork of DEL and Warnow

At the end of the last year a liner machine moved from the DEL location Pia to the new location at Warnow Liner in Bützow. This is a good example of group teamwork, group synergies and finding the best solution for the group. This will give Warnow the chance to do a big step forward. Special thanks to all who where involved.
