From the point of view of ARNO, with headquarters in Wolfschlugen near Stuttgart, the first 3 months of 2008 have been an eventful time: The next generation were inaugurated into the company, the ISO 9001 and 14001 certification accorded as well as moving into new premises in Russia, the UK and China
The course is set for the ARNO Group success story continuation as a family enterprise. The family Frank Arnholdt, CEO of the ARNO Group, has acquired all ARNO Group shares and incorporated the 3 children, Tim, Alien and Sophie, as shareholders into the company. Tim and Alien are responsible CEOs with Frank Arnholdt.
A further milestone for the ARNO executive is the ISO9001 and ISO14001 certification. This certification success was achieved after a year long process. All workflows relevant to product and process quality as well as effective environmental management were checked in depth and optimised up to the time of audit. Alien Arnholdt explains: “Quality management is a continuing process and we are proud that with these seals of approval we can also take on future responsibilities and commit ourselves to continuous improvement. We see a great opportunity not only in the promotion of our own potential, but also for our clients and suppliers, who can rely on a high quality and service standard”.
Internationally the engine is definitely still running. For some years now ARNO has successfully executed projects such as Lexus, Toyota, Reebok and Adidas in the east European market. In April, after an intensive reconnoitre, new office premises in Moscow were ceremonially inaugurated. “We are confident that through on site presence, speed and flexibility are gained and our clients will receive an even better service” says Tim Arnholdt. The opening of the Russian branch is part of an ARNO Group expansion strategy and a follow up on the establishment of the Guangzhou office. Also in Bristol, an already existing location, a memorial protected building has been purchased, offering more space for a continuously expanding staff. Over and above this new showrooms in Wolfschlugen and Bristol will be implemented for the exhibition of ARNO exhibits and systems.
ARNO designs and manufactures premium brand presentation systems for the retail market, from displays, shop in shop systems to retail interiors and is one of Europe’s leading enterprises in this field.
