Recruiting new members is one of the most important tasks for fire services across Germany. After all, voluntary fire protection would be unthinkable without dedicated volunteers.

The MUNK Group is therefore supporting the “Say YES to the Fire Service” campaign in partnership with Radio 7. Alexander Werdich, Managing Director and Chief Fire Officer in Reisensburg, and Ferdinand Munk, Emergency Services Officer for the district of Günzburg, are particularly passionate about this issue. As part of the initiative, fire services from the region have the opportunity to receive 40 seconds of airtime on Radio 7 to raise awareness of themselves and their work.

A special project for the people of Günzburg: a new communication and relaxation pavilion has been opened at Günzburg District Hospital – a place that offers hospital staff a space for relaxation, socialising and discussion.

The idea arose to mark the company’s 125th anniversary, during which Ferdinand Munk supported various social projects in the region. What began as a donation quickly grew into a genuine community project: companies, associations, the Günzburg Lions Club and numerous private individuals pulled together to make the pavilion a reality.

The result is impressive: a modern timber structure with a bar, seating area and direct access via a covered glass walkway – debt-free and realised with a great deal of passion. Regular activities such as yoga, table tennis tournaments and other community events are also planned.

For Ferdinand Munk, the project’s initiator and patron, the pavilion is more than just a building: “A place for people to meet – for exchange, joint planning and personal retreat.”

On 24 April, the MUNK Future Day 2026 took place at the MUNK Group in Günzburg. Around 30 representatives from the worlds of politics, finance and local government accepted the invitation and were welcomed at the company’s headquarters in Günzburg.

During the event, guests were given an overview of the areas in which the MUNK Group will be investing in the coming years and decades. The Future Day also provided an opportunity for discussions and direct dialogue regarding the planned developments.

The MUNK Future Day 2026 underscores the MUNK Group’s aim to secure the company’s long-term future and to actively foster dialogue with key partners in the region.

We have every reason to celebrate: three of our apprentices have successfully passed their journeyman’s examination in metalworking, specialising in structural engineering. It is particularly pleasing that two of the graduates have been recognised for their outstanding achievements: they received the best vocational school certificate from the Swabian Chamber of Crafts and the best journeyman’s examination result from the Swabian Chamber of Industry and Commerce.

We are proud and delighted that the three of them will be continuing their careers with the MUNK Group.
