Up to date: Latest news from Framo Morat

The Franz Morat Group is now in its 9th season as a FAIR ways partner of SC Freiburg.

Together with the SC and up to 14 other partner companies, the FAIR ways sponsorship prize is awarded annually to social organizations and institutions in the region. This year, a record sum of 100,000 euros was awarded for the first time. A total of 37 institutions and their projects received funding of between 500 and 7,000 euros.

The team, consisting of Raphael Sinan Altmann (training as an IT specialist for application development), Robi Golob (training as an industrial mechanic), Raphael Schätzle (training as a tool mechanic), Johannes Steinhart (training as an industrial business management assistant) and Anna Wissler (training as an industrial business management assistant), impressed the judges with their innovative business idea “Windows with smart automatic ventilation”. The window uses sensors to evaluate the air quality in the living area and ventilates as required via a ventilation slot that opens and closes automatically. The ventilation slit is equipped with an activated carbon filter that prevents pollen and insects from entering the room. The system is also burglar-proof and prevents mold infestations.

The Franz Morat Group is among the winners of the Jobmotor 2024 award. This prestigious competition for the economy of Southern Baden honors companies that strive to increase employment in the region and attract and retain employees with innovative personnel concepts.

Framo Morat, Inc. is participating in Modex 2024, the premier trade show for the supply chain, manufacturing, and distribution industries. MODEX 2024 will take place from March 11 to 14, 2024, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA – conveniently located near our US branch in Duluth, GA.

The Franz Morat Group achieved record revenue once again in the previous fiscal year of 2023 despite weakening economic activity. At around 114 million euros, sales came in about 8% higher than in the previous year. Managing Director Gökhan Balkis considers this a satisfying result in light of the current geopolitical and economic backdrops, even if revenue was a little less than 5% below target.

Managing Director Gökhan Balkis predicts that 2024 will be a year of numerous challenges for the German industry. Balkis cites multiple primary causes: increasing wages, rising energy costs, the budget crisis, geopolitical tensions, and the continually arising crises worldwide. Balkis explains, however, that the Franz Morat Group is well equipped for the coming months and years thanks to new future-oriented projects going on in all kinds of industries and business areas.
