Commitment

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.

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.
