JOEST group Managing Partners Dr. Hans Moormann and Dr. Marcus Wirtz joined JOEST Australia Managing Director Ian Laws in opening the party. Guests included The Honorary Consul of the Federal Republic of Germany in Western Australia Dr Gabriele Maluga who spoke appreciative and motivating words about the
contribution of Germany companies like JOEST group to the economic growth in Western Australia. Industry leaders took the opportunity to see JOEST machines in various stages of construction, as well as a machine on the test bed. Nearly 200 guests enjoyed music performed by the Western Australia Youth Jazz Orchestra whist sharing many conversations over food and refreshments. Old friends and supporters of JOEST Australia over the years reminisced about the stories and challenges shared in the past, and opportunities in the future.
