U CAN SAY U 2 ME. AND I WILL SAY U 2 U 2.

If you've known each other for so long, then you can certainly call each other "Du" (the informal "you"), we think. And since we're both celebrating our 50th birthdays this year, it's the perfect time – don't you think?

It all started in the garage of their own house – it sounds a bit like a Hollywood story: In the late 1960s, trained technician Erich Neuland welded fences and railings, which his brother Rudi, a trained businessman, then sold. For a good ten years, the two brothers worked in the construction industry. Then came a phone call from a friend who was a trainer and wanted a lightweight, foldable pinboard. The Neuland brothers rose to the challenge and, with this ingenious invention, laid the foundation for their current field of business. Flipcharts, moderator kits, and then the development of their first in-house marker with the proven Neuland refill system soon followed… the rest is history. This success story is now being continued by 140 employees, together with the "instigator" Guido Neuland (Erich's son), his sister Sabine, and his wife Verena – Neuland is truly a family business.

Today, trainers, consultants, facilitators, and coaches worldwide use our products, making us one of the market leaders in the industry. We've become a large, close-knit community. We know each other, we work for and with each other, we exchange ideas, we benefit from each other's wealth of experience, we look forward to seeing each other again, we simply enjoy each other's company…

After fifty years, we think it's time! We want to grow even closer, celebrate our good relationship, and therefore offer you the informal "Du" (you) in our anniversary year.

We say thank you for the good relationship we have with each other and look forward to the next fifty years – with you, and you, and you…
