Merry Christmas and all the best for 2026!

A remarkable year is drawing to a close – and at kothes, the end of 2025 was especially shaped by one key topic: the generational change in our company’s management. With this strategic step towards the future, we continue to focus on reliability, innovation and collaborative partnerships.

We would like to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt thanks: for your interest in our solutions, your openness to new ideas and your loyalty!

As in every year, our employees have once again come together in 2025 as part of “kothes hilft!” to decide which charitable organisations we will support this year. The selection has been made – and we are pleased to announce this year’s recipients and to support their valuable work with a donation. In doing so, we contribute to strengthening social engagement and assistance where it is needed most.

  • Orphelinat Coeur de JÉSUS, Douala
    Orphelinat Coeur de JÉSUS in Douala provides a safe home, access to education and medical care for 45 orphaned children. The facility relies on external support to continue its important work.

  • Help and Share Initiative, Maroua
    The Help and Share Initiative enables orphaned children in northern Cameroon to attend school and supports widowed mothers in difficult circumstances. The aim is to create long-term access to education and opportunities.

  • St. Annenhof, Kempen
    St. Annenhof in Kempen offers both residential and outreach support for children and young people, focusing on individual development and social inclusion.

  • Obstkäppchen
    The Obstkäppchen initiative regularly delivers fresh food to elderly people affected by poverty and offers them personal attention. The project is steadily growing and is now active in several cities.

We wish you and your families a relaxing and joyful Christmas season and a successful start to a healthy and successful new year.
