We would like to thank you again for the trust you have placed in us and for the pleasant cooperation during the year.

Together we look back on a very challenging year. We had all hoped that our lives and the working conditions would largely normalise by the end of the year. Unfortunately, this is not yet the case. So, in the constant ups and downs of the Corona Pandemic, we have endeavoured to support you with our services on an ongoing and timely basis through continuity in our operations. We are proud that we have successfully mastered this year's challenges thanks to our consistent partnership.

We were able to expand our offer, with further special services from our Food Sciences Centre, through an extended range of express analyses, through the further development of mineral oil analysis and additional expert services in international labelling testing. We were also pleased to intensify and further expand the contact and professional exchange with you in webinars with thematically diverse topics.

We are therefore looking forward to the coming year full of excitement and anticipation with interesting projects and orders from you.

This year we will again refrain from giving Christmas presents and will make a donation to the Berliner Tafel and KINDERHILFE - Help for seriously ill children and children with cancer.

We wish you and your families a merry Christmas season and our best wishes for the coming year 2022.

Except for Christmas Eve (24-12-2021) and New Year's Eve (31-12-2021), when we are only open until 2 p.m. (CET), we will be available for you throughout the holiday season.

Your Institut Kirchhoff Berlin Team.
