O'zapft is! - FRICKE goes Oktoberfest

This year, the large FRICKE Oktoberfest took place in Heeslingen in September where everyone had a great time.

After the FRICKE workforce had already demonstrated how to celebrate properly at performances by Scooter and Fantastischen Vier, they surpassed themselves this year at the staff party themed around Oktoberfest!

On 12 September, it was time to say ‘O'zapft is!’ in the huge tent specially erected for the occasion on the grounds of FRICKE Landmaschinen. Many colleagues took this as an opportunity to wear their dirndls or lederhosen for the first time this year. And so, on this Friday evening, Heeslingen was transformed into a little Munich.

Guests from all over Europe

Dieses Jahr waren nicht nur die Kolleginnen und Kollegen aus Deutschland eingeladen, sondern auch rund 220 Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter aus dem Ausland. Sie waren aufgrund der International Sales Conference vor Ort, die vom 10. bis 12. September stattgefunden hat. Die Kolleginnen und Kollegen aus unter anderem Frankreich, den Niederlanden, Rumänien oder dem Baltikum haben sich in den drei Tagen Präsentationen und Vorträge aus den unterschiedlichen Unternehmensbereichen, wie dem Produktmanagement, Controlling oder Rep.Guide, angehört.

The FRICKE Oktoberfest also had plenty to offer in terms of culinary delights: from Burgundy roast to Leberkäse, Schupfnudelpfanne and ice cream – there was something for every taste!

DJs Jannik and Xandl and the live band Hüttengaudi provided musical entertainment and created a great atmosphere. The festival tent was filled with swaying and celebrating to hits such as ‘Ein Prosit der Gemütlichkeit’ and music by David Guetta.

A bis success

A warm thank you to everyone who made this Oktoberfest an unforgettable experience! Celebrating and laughing together has once again shown what makes FRICKE so special. We are already looking forward to the next opportunity to raise a glass together! Perhaps Agritechnica in mid-November 2025?
