On 24 June 2016, the InfraTec GmbH Infrarot und Messtechnik celebrated its 25th anniversary. A quarter of a century ago exactly to the day, the company received its entry in the Commercial Register. In keeping with the motto "entirely in the family", the 200 or so employees and their relatives were invited to a summer festival.

The Managing Directors and founder members Dr. Matthias Heinze and Dr. Matthias Krauß opened the festival with a few shared words and thanked the employees for their commitment since the founding of the company. "It never ceases to amaze me when I consider how we started 25 years ago with just a handful of employees in tiny rooms, and we find ourselves today with such a great team at a modern business location", said Dr. Matthias Heinze, Managing Director of the infrared sensor division. "The passion for innovation and with a view to which benefit this provides our customers, has always guided our actions", adds Dr. Matthias Krauß, Managing Director of the infrared measurement division. This is one of the secrets of success that we can rediscover in our own products. After the speech, both managing directors each received a group photo of all the employees - corresponding with InfraTec's business field of infrared technology as a high resolution thermal image.

Afterwards, at the "Bellevue" Hotel in Dresden, the guests were offered a varied program with man surprises for young and old alike. The highlight of the evening included a laser show as well as a firework display over the River Elbe. Live music and a sumptuous buffet provided for a good mood among the guests during the whole time.
