The Nemetschek Group, a leading global provider of software solutions for the AEC/O and media industry, celebrated its 25th anniversary on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange last Friday with a “Bell Ringing Ceremony”. The so-called “Closing Bell” marked the end of the trading day and a special milestone in the company's history, which has undergone impressive development since its IPO in 1999. At the center of the celebration was the symbolic tolling of the bell, which crowned a successful quarter of a century on the stock exchange.
The ceremony on the trading floor was celebrated in the closest circle of the Nemetschek Group's Supervisory Board, Executive Board, and top management, similar to the IPO 25 years ago. The opening by Deutsche Börse was followed by the ceremonial signing of the guest book by Professor Georg Nemetschek, founder and Honorary Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Kurt Dobitsch, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Yves Padrines, CEO, and Louise Öfverström, CFO, as representatives of the Nemetschek Group.
After a welcome address by Caroline von Linsingen, Deutsche Börse, company founder Professor Georg Nemetschek highlighted the importance of this moment for the Nemetschek Group. CEO Yves Padrines and CFO Louise Öfverström had also prepared a few words in which they referred to the successes of the past years and outlined the future development of the company. At the same time, the Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Kurt Dobitsch, was celebrated for his achievements.
The highlight of the event followed at 5:30 p.m. on the dot: the ringing of the stock exchange bell by Professor Georg Nemetschek, Kurt Dobitsch, Yves Padrines, and Louise Öfverström. The symbolic act marked the end of the trading day and paid tribute to the Nemetschek Group's successful history on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. With the ringing of the “closing bell”, the Munich-based company reaffirms its ongoing commitment to shareholder value, innovation, and sustainability and looks to a successful future.
