Olympia, Paris 2024
Happy Olympics to our neighbouring country France!
Did you know that the famous Olympic flag first flew in Antwerp (Belgium) in 1920?
Pierre de Coubertin, an important initiator of the modern Olympic Games and the inventor of the flag, once said of its significance: “The flag is white, with five intertwined rings in blue, yellow, black, green and red. These colours symbolise the union of the five continents.” At a time of nationalism and international tensions, Coubertin set an example of global unity and peace with the five rings we are all familiar with today.

55 years of the Moon Landing
“The Eagle has landed.”
55 years ago today, on July 20, 1969, humans set foot on the moon for the first time. Every machinist knows how crucial precision work is – and it was precisely this precision that made this historic moment possible for mankind.
That’s why our SYMplus CNC software also incorporates maximum precision. So that the “Eagle” … er, the machining, succeeds!
The KELLER.Software team wishes you a great Saturday, enjoy the summer weather – and the moon (by the way, in Germany, this weekend we have a fittingly full moon!)
