Summer Barbecue with Great Weather

After long weeks of rain, the Jolarians got together in Esthal on a Friday afternoon to enjoy a small barbecue with their families in the glorious summer sunshine. The barbecue hut was located right on the edge of the forest and provided a lovely setting for a relaxed get-together.

The visit of 5 former employees who had already worked at the predecessor company, the Haas Brothers Cloth Factory, at the end of the 1950s was a particular highlight. There was also a toast to Volker Mattil’s golden jubilee (50 years with the company), which he had served in uninterrupted succession dating back to 1 November, not counting his work at Jola before and during his studies. His son Lars Mattil thanked him for the many decades of work for the company and for the family.
