Gerhard Kersting celebrated starting his well deserved retirement with colleagues over a round of good food and drinks.

Rudolf Brenken thanked Gerhard Kersting for his untiring commitment and recalled the many milestones in the company history that he had played a part in. Wolfram Wöhler also spoke and was able to include one or the other amusing anecdote – after all, Gerhard Kersting had worked for Wöhler Brush Tech GmbH in Bad Wünnenberg for 44 years!
The works manager, whose hallmark became the grey foreman’s coat he wore, started his apprenticeship as a machine fitter at Wöhler back in August 1968. With the arrival of the first NC machines his interest grew in the electrics of the machines. With great enthusiasm he threw himself into the subject, acquiring an extensive specialist knowledge over the years, which went into countless brushmaking machines.

Gerhard Kersting looks forward to taking his free time in walking and rambling. To make sure he stays on the right path he was presented with a personal navigation system by his colleagues.

Once more to Gerhard: Many thanks for your untiring commitment and long service to the company!
