The outgoing boss Ernst Prost and the future sole Managing Director Günter Hiermaier of German oil and additive specialist LIQUI MOLY, have announced that they are to give staff a €2000 bonus in recognition of their performance in 2021, honouring their fighting spirit in difficult conditions. 

Ernst Prost commented, “We did well and generated 20% growth. The entire team worked hard under difficult conditions. This is worth a gift from Mr. Hiermaier and me to everyone.”

He added, “You know, everyone is talking about how bad the economy is. Above all, we see the human element. Right from the start, we said that we would not put anyone on short-time work and that we would not show anyone the door. We were going to get through this together. We wanted to tackle it together without state aid.” 

According to the company, each co-entrepreneur will receive the bonus. “From warehouse workers in South Africa to managing director of the subsidiary in North America,” says Ernst Prost. “If our team weren’t so fantastic, we wouldn’t have come through the crisis so well.” He also sees the bonus as a personal ‘thank you’ and a farewell gift, as he will be retiring in a few weeks.
