Arntz Optibelt Group donates 10,000 euros in support of organisations

Höxter, 23 January 2026. The Arntz Optibelt Group demonstrates its ongoing social commitment to the region this year with its support to the tune of 10,000 euros for four social and voluntary organisations. Each organisation will receive 2,500 euros to foster the important work they do.

“Supporting non-profit and voluntary organisations is an essential element underpinning the responsibility we feel towards the region. The donations this year are in support of the valuable work carried out by the Holzminden-Höxter animal shelter, the AWO workers’ welfare association of Höxter, the Höxter Tisch food bank and the Bad Blankenburg volunteer fire brigade”, explains Regina Arning, Managing Director of the Arntz Optibelt Group.

The organisations located in the communities surrounding the company’s headquarters are dependent on donations. The volunteer fire brigade in Bad Blankenburg, the site of the Optibelt Produktions GmbH, makes a crucial contribution to the safety of the region.
