🚜🇩🇪 We have received another piece of assistance from our German partners for the Municipal Utility Enterprise.

Today, I handed over the keys to a Volvo loader to the utility workers.

🤝 The equipment was purchased thanks to the initiative of Christian Hauschild from Neumünster, a representative of the municipal company Stadtwerke Neumünster.

The loader will operate at the landfill, helping with clearing, site leveling, and performing other necessary tasks.

This is a significant reinforcement for the municipal services, allowing them to carry out their daily work more efficiently.

🙌 We sincerely thank our partner city Neumünster and everyone who contributed to providing this support.
