After getting a bunch of awards for being family-friendly, safe to work for, and helping apprentices, the HIRSCH Servo Group in Glanegg, a company in the HERZ Group, just got another one: Firefighter-Friendly Employer 2025. The award was given by the Carinthian State Fire Department Association together with the Carinthian Chamber of Commerce and the State of Carinthia. “The award is an expression of appreciation for the HIRSCH Servo Group, which has been supporting the volunteer fire departments for many years,” says Simon Remschnig, commander of the company fire department.
What began in 2002 as an internal fire safety group is now a fully-fledged company fire department: The HIRSCH company fire department in Glanegg has been officially operational since 2021—and is the only one of its kind in the entire Feldkirchen district. Nineteen volunteer employees provide preventive and defensive fire protection at the site. All are specially trained and well equipped to respond quickly in an emergency. This is a strong sign of the HERZ Group's commitment to responsibility.
