EIDEX GmbH
25 years of EIDEX: An anniversary full of memories and community
EIDEX celebrated its 25th anniversary with a lavish party on the first weekend in August. From humble beginnings, when the company was launched in 1999 in the living room of Thomas Gottschall and Patrick Haendly on a pool table and with an old laptop, EIDEX has developed into a recognized player in the promotional products industry.
The company name was deliberately chosen to be short, memorable and modern, visually appealing with a small animal to emphasize the family character and human closeness that have always characterized EIDEX. It was a wonderful summer evening on which around 250 employees, customers, suppliers, service providers, friends and former EIDEXes accepted the invitation to celebrate together. The band TIMERUNNER created a great mood and heated up the atmosphere. They played rock classics that invited everyone to party and dance. A special highlight of the evening was when Thomas Gottschall spontaneously took to the stage and played air guitar during a song.
The guests enjoyed culinary delights, including local beers and various barbecue specialties. As usual with EIDEX, there was a family atmosphere. In a short but moving speech, Managing Director Thomas Gottschall reflected on the past 25 years and presented an emotional gift to his co-founder Patrick Haendly: the first EIDEX company sign to hang in Sendlinger Straße. The reunion with the former Managing Director after several years was a very touching moment for everyone.
“Here’s to the next 25 years of EIDEX! We would like to thank everyone who came to our anniversary and all our other companions for their support and trust. Together we are one big family!”
