As part of his visit to Germany, King Juan
Carlos I of Spain is spending time at the Center of Excellence in
Sindelfingen on February 2, 2006. The head of state’s visit to the home
of the luxury car brand is centring around the new partnership between
Maybach and Stiftung Intercultural Dialogue (Foundation for
Intercultural Dialogue).
Maybach supports the Foundation for Intercultural Dialogue
The
aim of the foundation, which is based at Schloss Schöckingen, is to
promote interna-tional dialogue between cultures. Dr Klaus Maier,
Executive Vice President Mercedes Car Group, Sales and Marketing
pointed out, “King Juan Carlos I’s visit serves to honour the
partnership between Maybach and Stiftung Intercultural Dialogue. The
story of the orphaned Wilhelm Maybach, whose talents were encouraged by
Gottlieb Daimler and who went on to become a pioneer in the field of
automotive engineering, shows how important it is to support the
development of young people.” Klaus Nesser, CEO of Maybach, commented,
“Our commitment to cultural exchange embodies the principles of a
globally active company and the values of Maybach.”
