New CEO Mühleck inspires as a pink-panther at Wertheimer Messelauf!

The newly elected CEO of the Kreuzwertheim company Kurtz Ersa, Thomas Mühleck, recently caused a sensation when he took on a pink panther costume at Wertheimer Messelauf. This is not just a joke, but an announcement to the employees and the community that he is ready to keep his promises. Mühleck, who was only officially introduced to his office at the end of September, managed to lose his bet and then had to redeem his challenge.

Mühleck had bet that his employees would not be able to mobilize more than 100 participants for the measurement run. When 1,296 runners finally registered, including over 100 from the Kurtz ERSA team, the conditions were created to lose the bet. Under the strong applause of the spectators, he accepted the challenge and started in his costume over the 4.5 kilometer route.

a common experience

The Wertheim Messelauf has developed into an important event in the region, and Mühleck's appearance added a humorous and accessible grade to the occasion. Mühleck himself is an experienced runner and has contested marathons in the past. Despite the unusual clothing, he made the route in respectable 38 minutes and 18.7 seconds, which brought him to 220th place in the overall ranking of the men.

While the Pink Panther's costume caused a lot of excitement and laughter, not only Mühleck was alone in the spotlight. Next to him, Alexander ückert, plant manager of Johns Manville in Wertheim, ran as a firefighter, which added an interesting dynamic to the event. The image of the two, the side by side, shows that values such as team spirit and joy in sport are decisive in competition.

The Wertheimer Messelauf was not only a sporting event, but also an opportunity to bring the community together. It remains to be seen which further surprises the future events of the company have and whether Mühleck will offer his team further creative challenges.
