🎄🎄The Grand FRIKE Christmas Celebration on Uetliberg near Zurich🎉🎉🎉

In honor of our 80th anniversary, we celebrated together with all 6 of our companies for the very first time – and it was an unforgettable evening! 🌟

At the elegant Uto Kulm hotel, with a stunning view over Zurich, we kicked off the evening with a cozy campfire aperitif. 🔥🍹

Following this, around 250 employees enjoyed a festive dinner 🍽️ and danced the night away to captivating music by a DJ and a saxophonist. 🎷🎧 The atmosphere was simply fantastic – with plenty of dancing and fun all around! 🕺💃 The only challenge? Trying to capture everyone in a single group photo – with just a smartphone. 😊

A big thank you to everyone who made this evening so special! 🙏 We’re already looking forward to the next 80 years – together with all of you.🥂✨
