Support for earthquake victims


A devastating earthquake in Turkey and Syria shook the whole world at the beginning of the year

Ellwangen, February 2023

elke TECHNIK and its employees, as well as the founders Marianne and Reinhold Barlian, were also horrified by the terrible scale of this natural disaster. The earthquakes in the Turkish-Syrian border regions were among the worst natural disasters of the last 100 years. A valued employee of the company, Mr. Mustafa Kahil, hails from Syria and his family lives in the areas most affected by the earthquakes. 

In order to support their colleague, his family and other people affected by the earthquakes, the employees of elke TECHNIK joined forces and together collected € 600 as a donation for the victims of the disaster. This considerable sum was increased by a further € 600 by the management of elke TECHNIK. In view of the sum collected so far, the founders of the ARBAnova Family Foundation, Marianne and Reinhold Barlian, who have a shareholding in elke TECHNIK, were also generous and rounded up the donation to a total of € 1,500. This amount will go entirely to the victims of the earthquakes.

The sum of € 1,500 was hand over to Mr. Kahil jointly by the donors Marianne and Reinhold Barlian and Mr. Landes.

Our thoughts are with those affected in Turkey and Syria.
