Big celebration at ABP Shanghai – lots of enthusiasm at the team-building event
A colorful kickoff to the Chinese New Year – our colleagues at ABP Shanghai really went all out to celebrate the Year of the Horse in style. A team from the headquarters in Dortmund was also on site: ABP CEO Till Schreiter traveled there with Yilmaz Yildir and Frank Schulze. Alongside the official celebration, a sporting event was also on the agenda.
The ABP New Year’s party had such a great atmosphere. Our ABP team in Shanghai had organized a great team‑building event: all participants were divided into four groups to get familiar with the event performances and rehearse them, and afterwards they all performed at the evening event.
After the performances, everyone voted online to select three winning acts from the six performances, and the winners were then awarded with prizes. Even though the team members came from different departments, the teams worked together exceptionally well. That made the New Year’s celebration even more entertaining.
At this celebration, ABP CEO Till Schreiter and General Manager Dongyu Fan delivered the opening speeches. After the speeches, the presentation of the “Brilliant Contribution Awards” took place to honor colleagues who have been with the company for 10 and 15 years. The event continued with prize draws, entertaining acts and spectacular performances, including a saxophone solo, magic shows, and martial arts demonstrations, which impressed the audience.
The crowd was so enthusiastic that they asked the foreign guests to come up on stage as well—which they did with great enthusiasm. General Manager Dongyu Fan praised the employees who had done a truly excellent job and encouraged everyone to keep up the good work. He also expressed high praise for those colleagues who had so skillfully and dedicatedly put together the performances, making the gala a great success.
Also on the agenda was the ABP Badminton Competition Day: 70 percent of the employees took part, and many of them demonstrated their impressive skills. The goal of this sporting event was to encourage everyone to enjoy life, be active outside of work, and stay in shape.
