Dear Reader.
Some jubilees cry out for a fitting celebration – particularly when two really special ones come at the same time: This June, Manfred Bene, born in 1941, is celebrating not only a special birthday, but also 50 years of activity and work in the business. He is a unique personality and entrepreneur in the best sense of the word
We had a very personal talk with him that we want to share with you. Look back with us over five exciting decades of office history, in which the Bene corporation became an international player in the world of office furniture.
In addition, we have compiled a short but distinctive selection of statements and recollections contributed by Manfred Bene’s contemporaries and friends. You can send a few words of congratulations and your best wishes to Manfred Bene as well – at your website!
The province of Lower Austria has also taken advantage of the occasion – in time for his birthday – to publish a book based on interviews with the visionary duo Manfred Bene and Laurids Ortner!
And even our playlist has its analogies: it is from the Bene business partners and CAD specialists EasternGraphics, and thus truly is ‘computer aided’.
We wish you – dear reader – lots of enjoyment reading our articles and we wish our boss many more fulfilling life projects.
