We are on-board!
Through our participation in the Deutschlandstipendium (German Scholarship Programme), W. Brodhage OHG is supporting particularly talented and committed students at the University of Göttingen, thereby developing the next generation in a decisive life phase. The Deutschlandstipendium is a Federal Government initiative. Students receive a monthly allowance of EUR 300, half of which is provided by a private sponsor with the Federal Government providing the other half. This creates space during the period at university for more personal development.

During the summer of 2014, we organised a competition for Industrial Design students at Braunschweig University of Art (HBK) spanning two semesters. Supervised by Prof. Erich Kruse, 21 students took punch remnants and set about developing possible new purposes for them. Over the course of two months, a number of very interesting designs and ideas came together, making the jurors’ decision a very tough one indeed. The jurors were Dr. Eva Helmold-Kaselowsky (Managing Director, W. Brodhage OHG, Ms. Uschi Lang (Sales Assistant Sekisui Alveo AG) and Mr. Oliver Mette (Managing Director, Logoform design agency).

The winners’ table shows just how close the designs were in terms of quality. But the biggest winner is the environment, because every idea results in a reduction of wasted punch remnants, and we will check out the feasibility of implementing each idea.

Our sincere thanks goes to all participants for contributing great ideas, and also Prof. Kruse for supervising the competition, as well as Uschi Lang of Sales Assistant Sekisui Alveo AG and Oliver Mette of Logoform GmbH for their dedicated engagement with the competition.
