Company of the month
FH Promotions GmbH & Co. KG
The whole world inside a box
Cultural events enrich life in even the smallest community. For a larger city to be without a suitable venue for big events to take place means there is a big hole in that city’s attractiveness to its residents – and an opportunity to be taken for an entrepreneurially-minded organization. That was the thinking of the Feneberg family when they decided to fund and build a modern event venue in their home town of Kempten in the picturesque Allgäu region of Bavaria. Built for a total cost of 20 million EUR and offering 4,500 m² of space, bigBOX Allgäu opened in 2003. It is operated by FH Promotions GmbH & Co. KG.

Transport & Logistics
Raben Group
Solid growth in a solidly united Europe
Like many Western businesses, the Dutch logistics specialist Raben Group went east after the fall of the Iron Curtain. 26 years ago, Ewald Raben, the grandson of the company founder, set up the first international subsidiary in Poland – as a student and with modest Polish language skills. Today, Raben Group is a major European player in the dynamically evolving logistics sector and has branches in twelve European countries, 10,000 employees, over one billion EUR in annual revenues and a strong commitment to a solidly united European Union.
