(mud) – People celebrate Christmas and the turn of the year in many different ways, almost all around the world. They do so despite the fact that, firstly, not everyone is Christian, and secondly, the New Year does not begin on the same day everywhere. WTH Managing Director Gero Thieme says: “Some of our employees were not born in Germany or came here later. We wanted to know from them how Christmas and New Year’s Eve are celebrated in their home countries – and how they approach these holidays today. They shared their stories with us.”

From October 8 to 15, 2025, WTH GmbH presented itself at the world’s leading trade fair for the plastics and rubber industry – K 2025 in Düsseldorf. The fair was a complete success for our team: numerous constructive discussions with customers, suppliers, and interested parties enabled us to deepen existing partnerships and establish new business contacts. Interest in our additives – especially in our flame retardants, processing aids, and fine chemicals such as light stabilizers and antioxidants – was consistently high. The visitors’ positive feedback once again underscored the strong market position of our products.

In plastics, ultraviolet rays (UV rays) can lead to a variety of undesirable changes. These include color changes, embrittlement, cracking, and even loss of strength and dimensional stability.

“Lifelong learning is no longer an empty formula, but a survival strategy,” said WTH founder Walter Thieme years ago. The entrepreneur, who constantly expanded his knowledge, recognized that success is not a permanent state but the result of continuous development. That is why he promoted not only his own training but also that of his employees—convinced that individual learning directly contributes to business success.
