Open house and birthday party

Celebrating 85 Years with Open Doors and a Grand Party

released at: 23. October 2025

2025 is a truly special year for bema – we’re celebrating our 85th anniversary! Throughout the year, we’ve enjoyed wonderful moments, meaningful encounters and lasting memories. The highlights took place in September: an Open House for the entire region and a grand birthday party with guests from Germany and abroad.

Sunday, 14 September 2025 was a day to remember: we opened our factory gates and welcomed numerous visitors from near and far. The weather was perfect, the atmosphere was fantastic, and the programme had something for everyone. Things kicked off with a traditional morning pint and free beer, accompanied by live music from Musikverein Beesten-Lünne. Delicious food, refreshing drinks and ice cream – which sold out faster than you could blink – rounded off the culinary offering.

For our younger guests, we created a covered play paradise with interactive activities. A particular favourite: the balloon artist, who amazed children with one magical creation after another. To make the journey between the bema site and the neighbouring farmers’ market with animal and trade exhibitions as easy as possible, a mini train shuttled between the two venues – a popular service used by many.

Between factory tour & disco ball

No sooner had the last guest from our Open House left and everything been tidied up, the celebrations continued. After all, a milestone like this deserves more than just one day of impressions – it calls for a proper party. And that’s exactly what followed just a few days later.

The invitation read: Let’s PARTY HARD! And we did. On Friday, 19 September 2025, bema hosted a big birthday party. Attendees included family, friends, national sales representatives, European importers, service providers and political stakeholders. Together, we danced under the disco ball, laughed and toasted until the early hours. It was an evening full of energy, great conversations and a vibrant atmosphere – a fitting finale to our September highlights.

But the anniversary year isn’t over yet. With AGRITECHNICA in Hanover (9–15 November 2025), another highlight awaits. We look forward to welcoming you in Hall 26, Stand K31.

Charity campaign

Alongside many wonderful moments, our 85th anniversary also left a lasting mark: the surplus from the Open House and generous birthday donations amounted to an impressive sum, which bema further increased. In total, more than € 8,000.00 are now available to support regional projects. A special birthday becomes a meaningful contribution to the region. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made this possible!
