At the end of February, F/List, the internationally renowned interior designer of business and private jets, mega yachts and luxurious living spaces, received Federal Chancellor Christian Kern in Thomasberg, district of Neunkirchen, as part of a company visit.
He showed great interest during the tour of the production plants and sought direct contact with many of the 700 employees. During the subsequent round of talks with the apprentices and the management, he praised the innovative strength and the commitment of the traditional company with regard to the exemplary training of skilled workers and the international orientation. The visit, which lasted almost three hours, ended with a joint lunch with the staff.
At the beginning of March, the seventh branch of BKS Bank was opened in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Herta Stockbauer, CEO of the BKS Bank Group, is pleased with the new location in Ljubljana's Megacenter. "As a regional bank, we offer excellent advice in all matters relating to money. The branches are still our most important anchor points for this, even though we are constantly expanding our digital service in parallel. We are therefore very pleased to open our seventh branch in Ljubljana today. I wish the new team every success."
