On Saturday, September 21, 2024, a very special celebration took place at Josefigasse 5-7, 8020 Graz :
45 years of Feichtinger jewellery trade
This anniversary was duly celebrated right at the company's founding location, where our goldsmiths are also located. With a varied program, exclusive offers and many surprises for the whole family, the event was an unforgettable experience for customers, partners and long-standing employees.
A look back at the anniversary celebration
The program started at 2:00 p.m. with a celebratory speech, followed by an impressive jewelry show, where our “45 Years of Feichtinger” collection was presented. Four models showed the new designs and the audience was thrilled by the elegance and creativity of the jewelry.
A special highlight of the collection is the use of Graz Bio-Murgold , which is supplied by our long-term partner, Mr. Wolf. To introduce this unique material to the guests, Mr. Wolf offered an exciting gold panning event in which visitors could dig for gold themselves.
Enjoyment, music and more
The band "Smash" provided musical entertainment, creating a great atmosphere with their diverse repertoire. The physical well-being was also well taken care of: echtCatering Genusshandwerk spoiled the guests with barbecues, burgers and fresh pasta. There were also refreshing drinks and ice cream, served from a charming vintage bar truck.
Highlights for the whole family
A special highlight of the event was the tour of our in-house factory. Here, visitors were able to take an exclusive look behind the scenes and experience first-hand how our high-quality jewelry is created. For the younger guests, there was lovingly organized childcare including face painting and other surprises.
Exclusive offers and discounts
Visitors to the celebration could also look forward to an exclusive offer: During the event, the Graz branch was open from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and offered a 10% discount on all jewelry - a special thank you to our loyal customers. Many enthusiastically took advantage of this opportunity to purchase valuable jewelry at special prices.
Why 45 years and not 40 or 50?
A question that many guests asked is why we are celebrating this 45-year anniversary. The answer is simple: many of the original employees who have been with us since the beginning are about to retire. This celebration should therefore not only honor our successful company history, but also express special appreciation for these long-term companions.
Political guests of honor and special appreciation
Politicians were also represented at this special event: Christopher Drexler , Governor of Styria, and Ing. Herbert Ritter , Vice President of the WKO, were on site. Together with other guests of honour, such as the Director of the WKO Dr. Karl-Heinz Dernoscheg , the State Master of the Arts and Crafts Mr. Rupert Hofer and his deputy Georg Wiesauer , they conveyed their congratulations to our company and emphasised how important traditional companies such as Feichtinger are for the region and the business location of Graz.
Closing words
The 45th Feichtinger anniversary celebration was a complete success – a day full of jewelry, music, enjoyment and, above all, gratitude.
We would like to thank all our guests, partners and employees who have accompanied us over the years and look forward to the next 45 years full of creativity and innovation.
