Do, do, shut up: long time soul in the Swabian Gersthofen about his famous customers Apple could not talk the facade and glass specialist. That will change now: "You are the best in the world," Apple CEO Tim Cook called out to the workers.
Gersthofen - to the Swabian facades and glass specialist soul there is no Wikipedia entry so far, the taxi driver has to wonder through on the way to the industrial area of Gersthofen near Augsburg.

Long time soul about the famous customers Apple chart could show not to talk. But this is different now: after Apple CEO Tim Cook's visit in the factory Hall the soul subsidiary Sedak "Hidden Champion" will reinforce the soul, the world champion of the glass art, until then little-known in the spotlight. The store where is 5th Avenue in New York City one of the outstanding Apple of stores worldwide, said Cook. Without a soul Apple would have can not build it.
"You are the best in the world", Cook called Sedak workers on Monday, gathered before a 14 m long and 3.20 m high glass segment. The enormous facade window is the last delivery of Swabia for the futuristic Apple campus 2, the new Apple headquarters in the Cupertino California.

Company founder Gerhard estimates soul (59) in cooperation with Apple, that found both companies despite the spatial distance and different size to a trusting partnership. Nelli Diller, CEO of soul GmbH says the architect and designer of Apple have clear vision and high standards of perfection. "We ask us each other and pushing again us, exploring the boundaries of what is feasible and to pass on the new."
Tim Cook says in Gersthofen, his predecessor, Steve Jobs spent the last years of his life, with lots of energy to design a concept for the campus 2. "We have searched not only in the United States and around the world for someone who can put Steve's ideas and we ended up here, because nothing else really can."
Interesting, thanks.
