Support for Blindenbetrieb Arbeitsring

Cybergroup is cooperating with Blindenbetrieb Arbeitsring, located close to Stuttgart, to help visually impaired people finish their training, among others

For over six years, Cybergroup has been cooperating with the company for the blind Arbeitsring Anerkannter Blindenwerkstätten [Labour Association of Accredited Workshops for the Blind]. Twice a year, the company procures towels, brooms, and other products produced by the company to support exam processes and facilitate the qualification of the workers. By now, the workshop has become a modern, medium size company that employs blind and visually impaired people as broom and brush-makers, as well as weavers, in three countries.

 

"The Blindenbetrieb Arbeitsring Anerkannter Blindenwerkstätten-Schlich GmbH (AAB) was founded in 1933 by a single blind craftsman. In the meantime, things have developed positively, with an international as well as all-German expansion taking course.  This way, the AAB creates jobs for blind people in almost all federal states in the form of a self-help organisation for the blind. While the company headquarters in Hürtgenwald and Kornwestheim / Stuttgart primarily undertake training and retraining as well as rehabilitation measures, most of the craftspeople work independently or in smaller or larger groups in their home surroundings. Adding to this are the blind broom and brush-makers and the basket-weavers who work in local workshops, homes for the blind and cooperatives.

 

The work is significant for the blind people in various ways. It not only serves to maintain their livelihood, but also gives them the feeling of being useful, creating something, producing a quality product with their own hands -- of being a part of the productive force of human society. Work grants the blind a light that illuminates the way to self-fulfilment."[1] A successful company also needs a sales team that regularly speaks to customers and with that, to supporters. Cybergroup is happy to be able to support this offer through their orders and wishes many more successful years to come.
