On May 16th, we hosted a festive anniversary gala at one of our production facilities in the Reinickendorf district of Berlin. The evening was dedicated to celebrating three major milestones in our company\u2019s history: 160 years of Berliner, 70 years of rope play equipment, and 30 years as a family-owned business. We were delighted to welcome around 400 guests from politics, business, the media, and the leisure industry to this special event.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
