Strategie „Conquer New Waters“ treibt internationalen Ausbau noch schneller voran – China erstmals stärkster BRITA-Markt
Taunusstein, 17.05.2016. BRITA, weltweit ein Begriff für die Filtration von Trinkwasser, geht mit einem herausragenden wirtschaftlichen Erfolg in sein Jubiläumsjahr 2016. CEO Markus Hankammer, der das Familienunternehmen in zweiter Generation führt, sieht drei Gründe für die überaus positive Entwicklung: „An erster Stelle sind das die BRITA-Mitarbeiter in aller Welt, die mit ihrer engen Verbundenheit zum Unternehmen, ihrem Einsatz und ihrer Kreativität immer noch den einen wichtigen Schritt mehr gehen, durch den das Ziel erreicht wird. Dafür bin ich sehr dankbar. Dann spielt unsere Strategie ‘Conquer New Waters‘ eine wesentliche Rolle, die den zielgerichteten Ausbau unserer Geschäftsfelder sowohl geographisch als auch im Hinblick auf das Produktportfolio vorantreibt. Und drittens ist es die nachhaltige Produktlösung, die BRITA anbietet und deren Vorzüge Menschen in der ganzen Welt verstehen. Warum nicht einfach hygienisch einwandfreies Leitungswasser optimieren, statt Plastikwasserflaschen hin- und her zu transportieren und meist mit negativen Folgen für unseren Planeten und unsere Ozeane zu entsorgen. Bereits heute fließen mehr als 11 Milliarden Liter alternativ durch BRITA Wasserfilter und helfen so dabei, CO2 Emissionen zu verringern.“

Als 1988 Audi den ersten A8 vorstellte überwogen die Stimmen der Skeptiker – das kann doch gar kein Erfolg werden. Als die Ingolstädter 1994 mit der zweiten Generation erstmals in der Großserie die selbsttragende Aluminiumkarosserie einführten, mokierte sich teilweise der Wettbewerb – das ginge gar nicht, das sei viel zu teuer und nach Unfällen würden die Reparaturkosten immens sein. Nun man irrte sich. Nach anfänglichen Akzeptanz-Schwierigkeiten mauserte sich das Audi-Flaggschiff zum Erfolgsmodell. Die jetzt gründlich überarbeitete vierte Generation, die im November beim Händler steht, soll dies möglichst noch toppen. Der Einstiegspreis beträgt 75.400 Euro. Mit 5,14 Meter Länge, 2,99 Meter Radstand, 1,95 Meter Breite und 1,46 Meter Höhe ist der A8 in seinen Abmessungen gleich geblieben; beim A8 L kommen in Radstand und Länge je 13 Zentimeter dazu. Beibehalten wurde natürlich auch der Leichtbau. Die Karosserie besteht nahezu komplett aus Aluminium und wiegt – in der Audi Space Frame-Bauweise konzipiert – lediglich 231 Kilo und auch das Gesamtgewicht des A8 3.0 TFSI stellt mit 1.830 Kilo einen Bestwert unter den Wettbewerbern mit Allradantrieb dar. Darüber hinaus gibt es noch zahlreiche optionale Assistenzsysteme, die das Fahren im A8 noch souveräner machen. Die adaptive cruise control mit Stop&Go-Funktion ist mit einer Ausbaustufe des serienmäßigen Sicherheitssystems Audi pre sense basic gekoppelt, das Gleiche gilt für den Audi side assist. Neu im A8 sind der Audi active lane assist, der die Lenkungsrichtung gegebenenfalls leicht korrigiert, und der Parkassistent mit Umgebungsanzeige, der die Lenkarbeit beim Parken übernimmt. Das ebenfalls neue Head-up-Display projiziert wichtige Informationen im Sichtbereich des Fahrers auf die Windschutzscheibe und der Nachtsichtassistent kann neben Fußgängern jetzt auch größere Wildtiere erkennen.Da bleiben also kaum noch Wünsche offen – allerdings bewegt man sich dann in Preis-Regionen von weit über 100.000 Euro. Muss man ja nicht alles haben. Für die Ingolstädter ist ein derartiges Angebot aber wichtig, um die Ansprüche betuchter Käufer zum Beispiel im Nahen Osten oder in China erfüllen zu können.
Water has played an important role in the Stella Artois brewing heritage for more than 600 years, and is an essential ingredient in the Stella Artois that is brewed today. Yet 663 million people lack access to clean water – a global crisis that disproportionately affects women, who spend millions of hours a day collecting it. Stella Artois has again partnered with Water.org to drive awareness of the global water crisis, and calls on consumers to help leave a legacy as the generation that ends this crisis, once and for all.
The “Buy a Lady a Drink” campaign was first launched in 2015 to utilize Stella Artois’ global footprint to help positively impact this important issue. Last year the campaign focused on women’s long journeys for clean water. This year, the campaign showcases the positive impact that access to clean water can have, while inspiring consumers to leave a positive mark on the world.
“I’ve seen how the lives of women and their families can change when they get access to clean water,” said Water.org Co-Founder Matt Damon. “Access to water is access to education, access to work, access to the kind of future we want for all humankind. Thanks to our partnership with Stella Artois, this year’s ‘Buy a Lady a Drink’ campaign helps us tell this story – and gives consumers the chance to help us change it.”
