It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to Erik Breslein, one of our founders and great supporters…for over 20 years in China, Erik has been managing a German company and in the past 7 years co-founded the Inclusion Factory, acted as the supervisor of Inclusion Factory’s board of directors and was one of the biggest supporters and promoters of the employment of people with disabilities into the society.

A few months ago, Erik went back to Germany and was planning to join Lebenshilfe (a German organization that has been supporting people with disabilities for the past 60 years).

Unfortunately, on August 29th Erik’s dreams, plans and aspirations all came to an end.

We were extremely saddened receiving these news; Erik’s demise will live a void not only in his family’s life but also in our hearts.

Erik welcomed our employees to his previous company, Zollner Electronics Taicang, to show us in person how advanced manufacturing is taking place

 

We would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude for all of Erik’s contributions to the quality of life of people with disabilities in China and globally.

Your candle will keep shining here…

Rest in piece dear Erik.

Erik (second from the right) as he was awarded Inclusion Factory Platinum Supporter in 2020 for his outstanding contribution to the Inclusion Factory social mission

Eric was one of the board members of the Inclusion Factory project, and was one of the early German leaders to get involved and develop the project.

He was a sincere, friendly and enthusiastic person and we used to live in the same neighborhood and would often meet each other in the lift. Eric was always there to support the project at its most difficult time, not only in terms of financial support, but also through his personal involvement in promoting the project and making an important contribution to its continued development. It is sad and shocking to know that he has passed away, and I pray that he is now at peace in Heaven!

We believe that in these crucial days, people with Disabilities can further show their real value to the society and companies included!

There are plenty of people with various disabilities, who in regular days, are excluded from the workforce, although they are highly motivated and skilled.

This is a Hidden pool of available workforce, which is local, and while your workforce is away, can help you cover the gap with plenty of added values such as the Tax deductions you are entitled to while hiring people with disabilities, together with a substantial improvement in your company’s image as you implement creative and socially responsible strategy even in times of stress. Most importantly, they will help you address your urgent operational needs.

If you wish to explore this path, we at the Inclusion Factory commit to FULLY support you throughout the process with our team of experts:

1. We will help you decide which processes and work positions are the most suitable ones for inclusion
2. We will support the candidates sourcing and interviewing procedures
3. We will be there with you, onsite, to ensure a smooth and successful integration

Special times call for special actions;
We can use this opportunity to do good for our companies and our society.
