On 30.06.2007, the newly constructed building complex of PATURA GmbH was officially opened with a dedication ceremony attended by over 300 guests. Deacon Mergenthal took on the blessing of the halls and operations buildings as District Administrator Roland Schwing, Representative of Parliament Berthold Rueth and Mayor Alfred Zenger looked on. Managing Director Bernd Allié was quite pleased at the large turn out.

Countless Guests from Near and Far
Managing Director Bernd Allie welcomed guests from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, France, Spain and Scandinavia in his new buildings. He was pleased at the great interest shown in his business. He confirmed that this is the validation of long-term and successful cooperative work. He expressed his thanks to the firms in the region that took part in the new construction, who accomplished the construction so efficiently with their technical ability and their experienced manner of operation. His thanks were also extended to his employees, without whom the firm would not be what it is today. "A really strong team" is how he referred to his staff. Later, a tour followed, where his guests could inspect the various buildings and also observe a fence-building demonstration by the current World Fence Building Champion Swen Blumrich.

In his closing speech, the company founder and Senior Executive Helmut Allie told the history of the company. He asked his five grandchildren to take the stage and expressed his wish that one of them would carry on as leader of the third generation of the business.
