Paul Wurth and SMS group celebrate 150 years of shaping the future

On Saturday, September 23, 2023, our company location in Luxembourg celebrated our Big Family Day – a celebration for our colleagues and their families, taking place at the location of our future Paul Wurth campus in Nei-Hollerich.

This year, SMS group officially celebrates its 150th anniversary. Paul Wurth already turned 150 in 2020, but due to the pandemic, we were unable to celebrate at that point and took the opportunity to combine both anniversary celebrations this year. Our Big Family Day was indeed a day for the whole family, with a program of speeches and on-stage entertainment, but also a plethora of playing opportunities and workshops for children.

Besides the opportunity to celebrate, we also want to use this occasion to express our gratitude: To our current and former employees and their families, for investing their time and hard work into our success, as well as to or customers and business partners for their loyalty and trust. All of you played an important role in our 150-year history. CEO André Schneider highlighted in his opening speech: “To be able to celebrate 150 years, a company needs to go through many changes and adaptations. Now, we are going through another paradigm change that we are facing together, as one group.” We are proud to be able to look back onto 150 years of history and look into the future with hope and determination.

We are grateful to have been able to spend an amazing day celebrating with our colleagues!
