A farewell – without forgetting
Unfortunately, we had to say goodbye to our company's founder and senior director in early summer 2024.
Peter Klement
The company and the well-being of its employees, to which he devoted all his work and efforts, were his life life’s work. Humanity, appreciation and mutual respect made him an exceptional person. We have lost a companion, a visionary and a person with a huge heart.
For us, it is an incentive and an obligation to continue his life’s work with all our strength.
We bid him farewell with gratitude and will cherish his memory.
The Klement family as well as the management and employees of HOLTEC are in silent sadness.
