Summer Celebration 2025 I Continental and SEALABLE get together
A Partnership that Drives Progress:
SEALABLE & Continental Summer Celebration 2025
A celebration full of energy, emotion, and genuine excitement that brought everyone together. Last weekend, the time had finally come: SEALABLE and Continental jointly hosted the big sports and family festival. And what a day it was! Under a bright blue sky, employees, families, friends, and partners came together to play sports, have fun, and celebrate togetherness.
Already in the early morning hours, there was plenty of activity at the sports field in Waltershausen: helpers were setting up stations, chilling drinks, and preparing for a full day of events. Meanwhile, the final soundcheck was carried out with TMR Radio, and then it all began: music, hosting, and plenty of entertainment accompanied us throughout the entire day.
Activity, Interaction, Enthusiasm:
Our Key Highlights
Archery, Chess & Fun Darts
For everyone who preferred focused movement over going wild, there were plenty of options: whether aiming with bow and arrow, making strategic moves on the chessboard, or taking relaxed throws at the dartboard – here, brains and a steady hand were just as important as skill.
Taster Courses for Sports Enthusiasts
For everyone seeking balance, breath, and inner strength, Vici from Natürlich bewegt e.V. offered short sessions for body and mind. RückenFit, ZirkelFit, Yoga, and Kids’ Sports were on the program. A soothing contrast to the hustle and bustle of the festival.
Forklift Adventure for the Little Ones
Children’s eyes lit up as they took laps on the mini forklifts and pedal cars from LINDIG, weaving around traffic cones. Experiencing technology through play was a huge hit with our little guests.
Pony Rides with the Tabarz Equestrian Club
A special experience for many children: exploring the world from horseback. The patient ponies of the Tabarz Riding Club and their young team created unforgettable moments on four hooves.
Water Obstacle Course by TABBS
The absolute highlight on a warm summer day: an adventurous course with water obstacles. Those who dared were rewarded not only with a refreshing experience but also with a certificate and a small gift.
Bouncy Castle & Play Truck from AWO Gotha
Running, climbing, jumping: For the little ones, the play paradise with the bouncy castle and playmobile was an absolute highlight. Meanwhile, parents could relax or even join in the fun.
Tabletennis & Volleyball
Those who preferred to stay active could compete in table tennis or volleyball. Whether playing casually or with competitive spirit, there was plenty of laughter, fun, and sweat shared together.
Photo Booth for Lasting Memories
Memories for a lifetime: The photo booth was in high demand all day long. Whether in team outfits, sunglasses, or with a rubber duck, the pictures tell the story of this special day in their own unique way.
5-in-a-Row Challenge Course
At our station run, everyone had the chance to show what they were made of. Whether brother against sister or grandma versus grandchild, all ages could participate, and sporty prizes like a dartboard or basketball hoops awaited the winners.
Spin the Wheel – Fun for All Ages
A little thrill and plenty of great prizes: At the prize wheel, sun hats, water bottles, cereal bowls, bubbles, creative pads, our legendary SEALABLE rubber duck, and many other items were up for grabs. Always popular and a hit until the very end.
Continental’s Creative Corner
A bit more relaxed, but no less exciting, it was at Continental’s creative stand: kids (and the young at heart) could make their own bouncy balls or craft flashlights, taking a moment to breathe, get creative, and recharge their energy.
The Sporting Event of the Day: The Soccer Tournament
A sports festival without soccer? Unthinkable! The tournament on the playing field was both the emotional highlight and a crowd-puller. With energy, fairness, and true passion, the teams fought for goals, points, and the trophy—cheered on by an enthusiastic audience.
The excitement was palpable even beforehand: teams formed, jerseys were handed out, tactics discussed. With great determination but also sporting fairness, the teams competed. In total, four teams participated, made up of employees from SEALABLE and OESL, apprentices from Continental, and even some family members.
From the very beginning, it was clear: this was not just about winning, but above all about team spirit, respect, and shared enjoyment of the game. The SEALABLE team impressed with an outstanding mix of skill, commitment, and passion. They asserted themselves confidently, staying calm and focused in crucial moments—even when facing strong opponents.
The grand finale was the day’s highlight: both finalists played a fair, intense match on equal footing. But the SEALABLE team showed why they were especially well-coordinated that day. A cleverly played goal just before the final whistle decided the match, sparking huge celebrations.
The joy was immense, and our oldest employee, who was simultaneously guarding the goal, proudly accepted the long-awaited trophy. First place was one thing—but the beaming team, the cheering fans, and the shared celebration were something else entirely: a true testament to unity, motivation, and mutual appreciation.
"I'm not proud just because of the game, but because today I witnessed how strong a team can be when everyone supports each other and stands together."
Matthias Orth, Managing Director
Impressions
A Day to Cherish
What remains after such an eventful day? A feeling of genuine togetherness. Because this celebration was more than just a sporting event. It was an expression of community, cooperation, and partnership.
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who made this day possible: the many volunteers, the dedicated partner companies, the creative station operators, our technical and hosting teams, the fire brigade, the catering crew, and of course all the guests who made the day unforgettable with their energy, laughter, and team spirit.
