    Company's Half-Year of Safe Operations in Cambodia

    After being disbanded and reorganized from a park in 2026, a company moved to a warehouse in Maddapam, Cambodia, where it has operated safely for nearly half a year. Employees adhere to strict safety principles, avoiding unnecessary outings and maintaining a low profile. The company has grown to nearly 90 employees on-site, with a total of over 110 employees including remote positions. Despite the company's profitability, not everyone can be introduced by old colleagues due to passport and visa issues. The company is vigilant about the safety situation, with telecom fraud suspects being caught and deported monthly. After completing two waves of performance, the company plans to expand to other Southeast Asian countries like Vietnam or Sri Lanka later this year.

    A survey by Insa for 'Bild am Sonntag' shows that 68% of Germans reject the abolition of the early retirement option after 45 years of contributions, while only 24% support it. Trade union representatives, including those from Verdi, IG Metall, DGB, and Bauen-Agrar-Umwelt, have criticized the planned abolition, arguing that it disregards the life's work of long-term insured persons and is unfair. The Union's small business spokeswoman Gitta Connemann (CDU) has stated that the Union will stick to the pension reform project.
