Our hol­ding com­pany NILES-SIMMONS-HEGENSCHEIDT is sup­port­ing the Capi­tal of Cul­ture (Kul­tur­haupt­stadt) Chem­nitz 2025 with a gene­rous com­mit­ment as a gold sponsor

Chem­nitz, August 01, 2024 – The machine tool manu­fac­tu­rer NILES-SIMMONS-HEGENSCHEIDT (NSH Group) moves over a bil­lion peo­ple world­wide every day with its tech­no­lo­gies. The decis­ion to pro­mote Chem­nitz as Euro­pean Capi­tal of Cul­ture 2025 is based on the NSH Group’s con­vic­tion that cul­tu­ral diver­sity and crea­tive initia­ti­ves are essen­tial pil­lars for a sus­tainable and inno­va­tive society.

The NSH Group is sup­port­ing the Euro­pean Capi­tal of Cul­ture Chem­nitz 2025 with a gene­rous spon­sor­ship. This com­mit­ment is inten­ded to help pre­serve the region’s cul­tu­ral heri­tage, pro­vide new impe­tus and draw inter­na­tio­nal atten­tion to Chem­nitz. As a group of com­pa­nies head­quar­te­red in Chem­nitz, it sees it as part of its social respon­si­bi­lity to con­tri­bute to the cul­tu­ral deve­lo­p­ment and posi­tive image of our home city. The Euro­pean Capi­tal of Cul­ture initia­tive offers Chem­nitz a uni­que oppor­tu­nity to do so. Tra­di­tio­nally, indus­try and cul­ture have always been clo­sely lin­ked in Chem­nitz. The NSH Group has been sup­port­ing count­less pro­jects in the city in the fields of sport, art and cul­ture for decades.

»We are proud to be part of this important Euro­pean initia­tive and to be actively invol­ved in sha­ping the future of Chem­nitz,« says Jörg Hell­mann, CFO of the NILES-SIMMONS-HEGENSCHEIDT Group. »As a glo­bally active com­pany with deep roots in Chem­nitz, we want to pro­mote cul­tu­ral diver­sity and crea­tive exch­ange, which are of great importance for the fur­ther deve­lo­p­ment of our city and also for us as a com­pany. We hope that our com­mit­ment, as a glo­bally suc­cessful high-tech com­pany, will increase the attrac­ti­ve­ness of Chem­nitz and, of course, we are also coun­ting on a reverse effect.«

With its spon­sor­ship, the hol­ding com­pany is sup­port­ing various pro­jects and events as part of the Capi­tal of Cul­ture year, which will sus­tain­ably increase awa­re­ness and qua­lity of life in Chem­nitz. The NSH Group is con­vin­ced that this invest­ment in cul­ture will also have a posi­tive eco­no­mic and social impact.
