"Engel connects" - we do not only relate this company motto to business. The social aspect is also very important for Engel. For example, one of the projekts Engel supported in the past was a girls' hospital in Calcutta, India. We also collected within our company for an aid delivery in beds, medical apparatus, crutches, bedding etc., packaged them into a large container and sent them to a local hospital in Kenya. These were projects by the Soroptomists Ravensburg-Weingarten, whom we support since some time. |

| Padre Jose, who runs a homeless shelter for young people in La Paz (Bolivia), is also supported by Engel since 1999. The same applies to the project "Engineers without borders". This is an association of students who plan the building of bridges in Africa as part of their internments, foreign placements an diploma theses and supervise their implementation by local workers. In poor countries, e.g. Rwanda, bridges are more than mere infrastructure. In these countries bridges also mean access to food, medical services, education and work. Engel support this project with donations in kind and money. We will continue to support such projects in the future. |

Engel is also firmly committed to its close cooperation with the technical board and the chamber of commerce. In March 2005 the technical board held its 52nd working conference in Weingarten upon the invitation of Ms Engel. The vocational training board also met at the end of 2004 in the premises of Engel, because the training of young and motivated school leavers is of high importance to Engel. |
