GlueTube Channel. Baumer hhs is a leading global manufacturer of innovative adhesive application systems. The applications for these systems can be found everywhere in our everyday lives.
For example, they are used to seal supermarket pizza boxes and folding cartons for medicines. It offers families whose children are being treated for cancer at the Helios Clinic in Krefeld a temporary retreat - with seven modern parents' rooms, two kitchens and lovingly furnished living rooms. As money is always needed, for example to keep the facilities up to date or to open up new play opportunities for children, the support association is delighted with the commitment of the global player from Krefeld.
Since then, donations have been made to Villa Sonnenschein throughout the year. For example, disused office furniture or tools are given to employees in return for a voluntary donation. Two years ago, the management then had the idea of organising training courses in return for donations. Service technicians from Baumer hhs' international subsidiaries regularly visit the training centre in Krefeld. During his visit, which included a tour of the training and technology centre and the company, the chairman of the association, Jens Schmitz, was impressed by the company's innovative strength and sustainability concept.
Conversely, the Managing Director and Head of Marketing learnt more details about the work of the support association in aid of children with cancer. Jens Schmitz explained that cancer research is also supported by donations.
For example, a doctoral student at the Helios Clinic is currently investigating the physical and psychological effects of sport on children with cancer following intensive therapy. She has already achieved good results. And a senior physician has conducted an internationally significant study on Fanconi anaemia. This is a genetic defect that causes malformations, bone marrow failure and an increased risk of developing leukaemia. She and her team were able to prove that swabs taken from patients using special brushes can reliably detect oral mucosal cancer in good time.
