Special event marks SCHOCK 100-year anniversary

The 1810 Company/SCHOCK UK staff and customers enjoyed a trip to Bavaria to take part in the SCHOCK 100-year anniversary celebrations.

SCHOCK customers and colleagues from across the world attended the stellar occasion to mark the milestone with a Back To The Future-inspired event. The two days included a 1920s-themed river cruise, a conference and festival-themed evening event.

Guests had the opportunity to view a wide variety of displays, including popular 1810 and SCHOCK UK products, and listened to several talks from industry-leading experts, including 1810/SCHOCK UK Managing Director Dean Williams.

Dean said: “Thank you to the event organisers and everyone at SCHOCK who made the 100-year anniversary such a special occasion to be a part of. It was great to have the opportunity to meet SCHOCK customers and colleagues from across the world and celebrate an amazing milestone.”

The SCHOCK story began in 1924 when the company was established by Schock brothers; Hermann, Karl and Wilhelm, and there have been many milestones since.
