15.01.2026 Employee Donation: SPANGLER Workforce Supports Family from the Region
Deutsch
Töging, 15 January 2026 – The Christmas donation campaign has been a long-standing tradition at SPANGLER Automation. In 2025, employees once again joined forces to support a good cause.
The campaign is organized entirely by the workforce: employees submit donation proposals, vote on them, and then fill a donation box at the company over a period of two weeks.
This year, the majority of employees chose to support a family from the region whose daughter has been suffering from severe ME/CFS (myalgic encephalomyelitis / chronic fatigue syndrome) since March 2022 – a serious form of long or post-COVID. For around two years, the young woman has been largely confined to a completely darkened room. ME/CFS is currently considered incurable and remains insufficiently researched.
In addition to providing financial support, the SPANGLER workforce also aims to raise awareness of the situation faced by many people affected by this condition. The family itself is actively involved in promoting greater awareness and research into ME/CFS.
At the beginning of the new year, the collected donation amount of €425 was presented to the young woman’s mother during a personal handover at the company. With this initiative, the workforce sends a clear message of solidarity, social commitment, and strong regional ties.
