Commitment


Make a difference with commitment

Only those who have knowledge surrounding the basis of business conduct can be successful in the long-term. At maxit we are positive: our homeland and the people living in it make us successful. These people are the ones who newly shape the success of maxit whilst simultaneously attesting that which is new.

So that this remains as such, we give a little of our success back to these people and the region with whom and in which we live and work together. As a reliable partner in sport, cultural and social things, we would like to provide a contribution to a strong society in the surroundings of our sound company.

 

maxit as a partner to sport


Top solutions in construction and top performance on the pitch - a truly good combination. What maxit stands for in the construction industry is embodied by our partners of sport in football, basketball and winter sports: with passion and commitment, we are both successful. That's why we combine our strengths to create new regional synergies and ensure long-term success. maxit is a proud partner of sport in Franconia, Thuringia and Saxony.

 

If the cloverleaf is the symbol par excellence for happiness, then the conditions for this partnership could not be better. SpVgg Greuther Fürth, widely known as the "cloverleaves", and maxit have been partners since the 2014/15 season.

The down-to-earth nature of the club as well as its fair behaviour in a spirit of partnership are reflected in the maxit philosophy. At the same time, the two Franconian partners are united by their technical expertise. What Greuther Fürth expresses as playful skill on the green pitch, maxit expresses in the technical level of all our products. These are the best prerequisites for a successful future together!

maxit has always been deeply connected to the region of Upper Franconia and the Bayreuth area. Since the 2013/14 season, maxit has expressed this connection as the main sponsor of SpVgg Oberfranken Bayreuth.

For maxit, this is a home game, so to speak, as the company's headquarters are located in the Bayreuth area, where the club has been able to count on a loyal following for decades and has left its mark on sporting events. SpVgg Oberfranken Bayreuth is fighting for points and sporting success with the well-known maxit lettering on its chest.

Where help is needed, maxit is there


Germany saw shocking images from Lower Bavaria in June 2013. The flood disaster submerged entire areas of the region. What was left behind was a terrifying scale of destruction.

The three-river city of Passau and the Deggendorf district of Fischerdorf, both located directly on the Danube, were particularly badly affected. Due to the immediate proximity of the disaster to the maxit site in Niederwinkling, maxit quickly decided to provide immediate assistance.

First of all, maxit consultants went on site to get a picture of the damage. In order to cope with the immense force of the water masses and the high degree of contamination, it quickly became clear that a special plaster had to be developed to meet these extreme requirements. In a very short time, the maxit research and development centre developed a plaster that could dry out the masonry in a controlled manner due to its extreme porosity and large pore volume. This was particularly important in order to be able to initiate all further renovation work promptly.

For fast and unbureaucratic help, maxit carried out all consulting services and masonry diagnoses free of charge. In addition, damaged parties received a special discount of 20 percent on purchased goods at local building material dealers.

The historic flooding of 2013 in the Deggendorf area also badly affected three colleagues of the Plattling factory. It was immediately clear to maxit that help was the order of the day.

In support of the three colleagues, maxit initiated a fundraiser. Shortly before Christmas 2014, the colleagues were paid a donation totalling 2,600 euros. Even if the donation did not adequately quantify the damage, it showed the strong collaboration between the employees of maxit. Those who can reply upon one another, can overcome great tasks together. Professionally and privately.

Making our village more beautiful - the children-afternoon of the mid-Franconian community of Adelshofen was carried out with this motto. In the Großharbach district, 45 committed young artists applied a colourful coat of paint to the agricultural concrete silo at the entrance to the village. As the guarantor for fun and games maxit was involved.

As employees of a long-term customer approached maxit with the question of whether the company would support a painting day, the answer was of course immediately yes. Perfectly equipped with maxit silicone resin paint, colour pigments and maxit solar hats the little artists took to the large silo.

All in all, it was a successful afternoon in Großharbach for the children and their parents. Some of the young artists were even able to discover their dream job as painters.

At the end of 2021, we received a letter from a young couple from Rugendorf, Kulmbach. In this letter, Mrs Walter described how she, her husband and their 6-year-old son built the shell of a small detached house - under special circumstances, as Mrs Walter's partner has been confined to a wheelchair since a serious accident.

As the search for a suitable home had previously been unsuccessful, the couple had decided to venture into the new build on their own and with very limited resources. However, after months of work, including site levelling and bricklaying work through to the erection of the roof truss and roof covering, the young family reached the limits of their capabilities. The Walter family could barely manage the interior plastering work on their own. In addition to materials, there was a lack of skilled tradespeople who could provide advice and, above all, help.

Impressed by the special commitment of the building owners, maxit Managing Director Hans-Dieter Groppweis spontaneously offered his support: the company would provide the materials and technology. It certainly didn't take much persuasion and Heiko Thiel and his sales team immediately signalled their willingness to volunteer for an after-work and weekend project

From 3 March 2022, the vehicles of our field service colleagues crowded the access road to the Walter construction project. Instead of taking a well-earned break from the stresses and strains of everyday life, our construction professionals took part in a special kind of "team-building exercise", professionally plastering the entire interior walls of the new building with maxit ip 23 F in just two days.
