Pinktober 2024: Raising awareness for breast cancer prevention

Under the motto ‘CeramTec shines PINK again’, countless colleagues once again dressed up in pink, unpacked pink accessories, put on pink ribbons and took great photos to draw attention to prevention during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.

The canteens also showed their colours and offered corresponding dishes: In Plochingen, for example, there were pink burger buns that the local baker had baked especially for us. Our international locations were also particularly creative: colleagues in Ruabon, UK, organised a cake sale with pink (or ‘pink-tasting’) treats and a raffle with prizes donated by employees; in total, almost £1,000 (around €1,200) was donated to a local treatment centre for cancer patients in Wrexham.

In Seremban, Malaysia, in addition to various games and quizzes, there was also a specialist talk by a doctor and - particularly worth mentioning - 12 employees donated their hair for wigs for cancer patients. A great contribution for which we would like to send a very special thank you to Seremban!

That shows: The commitment is growing and the creativity of CeramTec's employees is unbroken even after many years of PINKTOBER and helps to raise our awareness for breast cancer prevention. A big thank you to all our colleagues who are committed to this cause: You are great!

CeramTec is also once again making a financial contribution in the form of a donation to the German Cancer Research Centre.
