Our Future
SINCE 1847
Dear readers
and customers,
One subject which is very important for me, is promotion of our LIQUI MOLY/Meguin
trainees. On September 1st, eight young people in our company will take their first
steps in their occupational career. After successfully competing their training or
studies all doors in our company group are open to them, in the same manner as they
once were for my friend and Assistant Business Manager Günter Hiermaier. 30 years
ago he was my apprentice, as they were called at that time. 25 years ago we both came
to LIQUI MOLY as a twin pack. By that time Günter Hiermaier had climbed the career
ladder up to the level of Sales Manager for Germany and Austria - a perfect example
for continuity and tenacity.
Then as now young people were given their chance and had perspectives! And this is
exactly what I am talking about, because offering training and creating jobs is
important and in principle a major social responsibility for companies.
Training secures the future - for humans as well as for companies. Training
makes it possible for a new generation to take over smoothly and continuously,
provides fresh insights in the company, supplementing the routine of "older
employees" perfectly. This is the recipe for our sustained success over generations.

LIQUI MOLY I MEGUIN I 10 I 2015
As the company changes, so does the training. International activity is becoming
increasingly important to meet the new challenges placed on labor in a globalized
economy. Our training positions focusing on international economic management are
an answer to this development.
Training helps prevent unemployment!
This awareness is a political and social manifest!
What happens when a country and economy fails to take its responsibility at this point
is demonstrated dramatically by the brutal reality of unemployment and lack of
perspective among the youth in Southern Europe ... For these young people this
situation is a personal catastrophe; for the society and Europe as a whole a portentous
bombshell! Formulated in positive terms: Companies that provide training, cement the
society together, ensure prosperity and fortify the social system. It works; as a
member of the management staff in a company this is a challenge, for which we must
work hard and consistently and actively take our responsibility for the company and its
employees.
The illustrations and stories in this issue provide a brief excerpt of what our worldwide
LIQUI MOLY family accomplishes with head, heart and dedication: Our incredible
calendar especially for customers in Asia and Australia; shows examples of success
from the world of cars, motorcycles and aircraft. We have included reports on
exhibitions from Osnabrück to Johannesburg, on events from Singapore to Botswana
as well as the motorcycle riders in Trinidad & Tobago and rally cross pilots in Norway.
And in North Germany our Gear Tronic automatic transmission flushing and changing
machine celebrated its worldwide premiere.
We do all this to make LIQUI MOLY a global brand. By the way: In Russia we are just a
breath away from the peak; more precisely we we lack just three-tenths of one percent
to take over leadership of the market in the largest country on earth. In Germany we
have already been the market leader for several years.
Yours,
Ernst Prost

ANNIVERSARY
A popular German song says 'Marble, stone and iron all break' ... but certainly not this friendship. On October 1st exactly 25 years ago, Ernst Prost (right) and Günter Hiermaier began
their career at LIQUI MOLY. Ernst Prost began as Sales and Marketing Manager and Günter
Hiermaier as Retail Sales Manager Germany. At that time, in 1990, LIQUI MOLY had an annual
8
LIQUI MOLY I MEGUIN I 10 I 2015
turnover of 29 million euros and employed a staff of 118. In the meantime the staff has increased to 750 and the company earns a turnover of nearly 40 million euros - every single
month! At LIQUI MOLY: Everyone puts in his utmost and strives - even during creative breaks!
