"With a workforce of around 200 people, SIMONA AG is the largest employer here in our town. We are delighted that the company has decided to support the community of Ringsheim in the "Schoolyard Modernisation" project as part of this year's Group-wide Christmas campaign," said Mayor Pascal Weber on being presented with the cheque. The new schoolyard concept includes the construction of an "arena" in which pupils can be taught in the open air.

As one of the leading manufacturers of thermoplastic products and an acknowledged development partner within this field, SIMONA has production facilities and sales offices around the globe. At its plant in Ringsheim, the company produces pipes and fittings for applications within the utilities, infrastructure, industrial and rail transport sector.

The donation of €10,000 presented by SIMONA AG is instead of Christmas gifts for customers. In the past, the company has supported various schools, foundations and aid projects in the respective regions of its corporate locations.
