Dear Richard, Dear Lukasz,
Dear Employees of ISL,

This year your company celebrates its 10th anniversary and hence also 10 years of collaboration with Hänel Office and Industrial Storage Systems. These 10 years have flown by. But in a time when our society is undergoing constant change, they are a sign of mutual trust.

I associate these past 10 years above all with good times and shared successes.

When I look back, I see that this collaboration was made possible by the vision and the courage of you, Richard Lucas. You developed your own concept and, with a very large contribution from Lukasz Kantoch, you implemented it. You took what you saw in our company that fitted well into your concept, adapted it, and you incorporated and factored in Polish national characteristics and strengths.

With this approach you set out with your team on this successful journey on the Polish market. You used the time well and expanded the market gradually. Today it can be said that you play a leading role in the field of “automated vertical lifts and carousels” in Poland.

This is one of the reasons Hänel awarded you the title of “Most successful partner 2005”.

On top of this, you made yet another contribution this year with your “VendiShelf” product and as such have become a partner in the opposite direction – as a supplier of ideas and products. The first step on this road was taken with the global launch of VendiShelf at CeMAT 2011, the world’s leading trade fair for intralogistics.

Dear Richard, Dear Lukasz, Dear Employees of ISL, please accept my personal thanks for your untiring commitment over these last 10 years. I wish you and your entire company continued success for the coming years and I hope our constructive cooperation will continue in the same spirit.

Yours,
Joachim Hänel
Chief Executive Sales
