2013: Summer party on the Cap San Diego – PNE and WKN join together

On 10 September 2013, the first joint summer party for PNE WIND AG and WKN AG was held – representing a symbolic milestone in the merger of the two companies. Following the slogan “PNE WIND x WKN AG: together in international waters”, the employees of both groups got together in the Port of Hamburg aboard the Cap San Diego, the world’s largest seaworthy museum ship. 

The event included a trip along the Elbe lasting almost ten hours. Everything was provided on deck – from delicious food to an interactive entertainment programme and live music.  

Against the background of initial reservations expressed by employees of both companies, there was a conscious focus on fostering a team spirit. A mixed seating plan encouraged new encounters, while a group drumming course followed by a bass drum performance symbolised the goal of “getting into the same groove”. 

The summer party aboard the Cap San Diego was much more than a celebration – it marked the start of the shared corporate culture, representing a sign of togetherness and the beginning of a successful cooperation under one roof.
