INP is an innovative company:
On Thursday, September 10, 2015, the INP Austria team invited people to a summer charity event to benefit the organization „Herzkinder [Heart Children].“
The celebration took place at the Sepp‘n Ranch in Alberndorf (only about 10 km away from our office in Gallneukirchen), a typical farm. Since we, as INP Austria, wanted to highlight the reference to the region and to Austria, this location was of course ideal for this purpose. The Affenzellers converted the farm into a popular event location and as the icing on the cake Peter Affenzeller, the son of the house, produces his multi-award winning whiskey on the „ranch,“ which can of course also be tasted there.
After a welcome drink, we were able to listen to a lecture by Oskar Kern and be inspired by his words. Mr. Kern is the managing director of ELIN GmbH, a company for automation systems in Linz, and holds lectures on the topic of „People and management“ only for select audiences. In these lectures, he speaks about his book „Postman‘s child“ and how he started to question his own life due to the illness of his child. During this time, he came into contact with „Heart Children.“ His child fortunately recovered after a serious operation, but his commitment to „Heart Children“ still remains. The organization helps parents whose children are having heart surgery by providing housing near the hospital, accompanying the parents, offering help and above all providing information. The lecture by Mr. Kern was very moving. His impulses to question deadlocked structures here and there and not forgetting „humanity“ in the business world were contemplated by us and our guests.
After the lecture, a typical Austrian „snack“ was served for our guests. We also put emphasis here on regional products and served hearty dishes, such as bacon, ham, various cold meat dishes, spreads and cheese, made by suppliers from Gallneukirchen. Our visitors were very satisfied with the offering and then also full.
Of course we took advantage of the opportunity to see the whiskey distillery of Peter Affenzeller. The now successful young entrepreneur came to producing whiskey rather by accident. Schnapps was always distilled on the farm and Peter simply tried it once with whiskey in a departure from tradition. When this was awarded multiple times in a blind tasting with international whiskeys, the idea came to him to make this his profession. It still took a while from the idea to the implementation, but now his whiskey is known around the world. We were also able to taste several whiskeys and can now confirm that he deserves all of the praise. All in all, the evening at the Sepp‘n Ranch was a complete success, both for us and our guests.
